Round Function

[Genx]

I'm having a bit of trouble using this function. As i understand it, the syntax of the function is Round(Numberfield ; Number of decimal places). Assuming the field contains the number 800, this function should return 800.00 when the number of decimal places is 2. Instead though i get 800 ... Is there are work around for this, im not thinking to well at this point.

Cheers,

P.S. Theres no formatting or anything attached to the field.

Rounding is not the same as formatting. Rounding is a NUMERICAL operation. In mathematics, 800.001 rounded to 2 decimal places equals 800. Trailing zeros are redundant in a number.

If you need to DISPLAY the result as 800.00, then either format the field to display 2 decimal places, or convert the result to TEXT and do the formatting yourself.

Rightio, thanks for clearing that up comment, I already resorted to just formatting it that way so yeh. At least know i'll know how to expect it to work.
