XI / PI Format Number issue

Question

Hello,
When I process the value 782.785 through format number 0.00 I'm expecting a value 782.79 but the standard Format number function returns 782.78. Standard function appears to round to a higher digit only if the value is greater than 5 like '.786' to '.79' and not rounds up the value for 5.
What could be done to achieve this functionality? is it possible without a UDF ?
Thanks for your help!
Larry.

Answer 1

Round up and Round down requirements is not fully feasible to implement using standard function. Use this logic in your UDF...
If you declare input as string and return the value also string for the decimal number then below logic
String str = "782.666";
  double d = Double.valueOf(str);
  DecimalFormat de = new DecimalFormat("###.##");
  return (Double.valueOf(de.format(d))).toString();
  Note: if you declared  input as double or float and return the value double then the below logic will work.
double d = 782.666;
DecimalFormat de = new DecimalFormat("###.##");
return  Double.valueOf(de.format(d));
Hope that helps.
