Always round up or down

Question

Hallo,
I´m looking for a function in DIAdem to always round up or down. I build myself some but they are old and slow... and they also work only almost perfect, some cases Just wont work right.
The aim is to round figures to 1/100, 5/100, 1/10, 5/10, to numbers, X mod 5 = 0, to x mod 10 = 0, to x mod 50 = 0 and so on.
I want to use it for scalling Report-Diagramms automatically, but with fixed and round scales - also for same scales of one meassurement in different Messures.
Therefor i need the funktion to Round Up always or in Minus Round down always.
If someone has a nice Solution for it i would be very thankfull.
Thanks already for ur surport.

Answer 1

I'm not sure I fully understand the question, but hopefully this helps:
Frac = Return decimal portion of a number
Trunc = Return Integer portion of a number
intMyResult = Frac(Pi)    'intMyResult = 0.14159265358979
intMyResult = Trunc(-75.5109) 'intMyResult = -75
So a combination of these could give you:
Always Round Up:
  If Frac(Val) > 0 then MyResult = Trunc(Val) + 1
Example:
  Var =Pi
  If Frac(Var) > 0 then
    MyResult = Trunc(Var) + 1
  Else
    MyResult = Var '4
  end if
Always Round Down:
  MyResult = Trunc(Val)
Example:
  Var =Pi
  MyResult =Trunc(Var) '3
You can also combine this with multiplying&dividing by 10/100/1000 to round to specific numbers of decimal places
Example:
  Var =10.12345
  Var = Var *100
  Var =Trunc(Var)
  Var = Var /100
  MyResult = Var  '10.12
