Re: [libreoffice-users] Integer part of a number

Hi :)
There are other options such as Roundup.  If you want to get the nearest whole number so that .5 or 
over gets rounded up and less than .5 gets rounded down then one way might be something like

E1: =INT(A1+0.5)    → 1

Hmm, there has got to be a specific function that does rounding correctly.  
Regards from
Tom :)

The function you're probably looking for is INT().

Example:
 A1: 0.77
 B1: =INT(A1)    → 0
 C1: =A1*2    → 1.54
 D1: =B1*2    → 0

I guess I don't understand the restrictions in your spreadsheet. Without knowing any further 
details of your application, I'd say, why not use the value calculated by INT() instead of the 
original value in any subsequent operations?
