E9: Calculated Field Rounding up

#ygrps-yiv-931736975 .ygrps-yiv-931736975style1 {font-family:"Times New Roman";}

Thanks for the feedback.  The fields were already in the BAQ, so I just created the formula in Crystal Reports.  Googled it and found the function CEILING() and FLOOR()

 

CEILING(1.19) = 2

FLOOR(1.19) = 1

A trick to "round up" when a system just truncates, is to add 0.5 to the result.

 

 70 / 36 + 0.5 = 2.44 , wich truncates to 2.0

 

This is an old trick from assembly language programming days (pre - floating point math)

Can you round up in a calculated field.

 

If I have a field with the value of 70 and my other value is 36, my calc field is trying to calculate 70 / 36 = 1.94, but Epicor is only returning 1, I would like it to return 2.  Is there a roundup function?

Are you doing this in ABL code (Progress), or is this in the UI (C# or VB.NET)? The answer to your question is "yes", you can round, but how you do it depends on the language.Â

It sounds as if you're moving this into an integer field, and in that case, without rounding, it would truncate.Â
