Type

Description

result

Double

The floor of value.

value

Double

The value you want the floor of.

Notes

The result of this function is a Double, but it will always contain a whole number.

Sample code

This example uses the Floor function to return Floor of a number.

Var d As Double
d = Floor(1.234) // returns 1

Because Floor will always return a whole number, to round a decimal value to a certain number of places, you must first multiple the number by 10^(the number of decimal places to which you wish to round) then take the value returned by Floor of that number and divide it by 10^(the number of decimal places to which you wish to round). In this example, the value 1.2345 is being rounded to two decimal places:

Var d As Double
d = Floor(1.234 * 100) / 100
