Convert to integer ?

Tue, 10 Jul 2012 05:59:39 GMT

I searched in community but could not find a good answer for this.

I am taking into qlikview, a field which is having decimal values like 1.0,2.0,3.0 etc

I want to convert them into integers 1,2,3..etc

Is there any qlikview function for this?

Qv does not differentiate between integers and real numbers, but if you want to display them like 1, 2, 3... then just use Num(field), or Num(field, '0').

As far as functions go

floor(field) - will discard the fractional part

ceil(field) - will discard the fractional part and round up to the next integer

round(field) - will round the value to the nearest integer. (check the manual for other round options)

Hope that helps

Thanks Jonathan,

floor(field) was apt in my case.
