Help for about decimal.

[#1]

Hello,

In Pivot table , Expression i used the num( ) function. The function is show the decimal place is correct but when the formula was manipulated they used the original value. That mean

i used the function like that,

num('0.32409178531','.##') * num('40648.216','.##') => 13173.752893

I checked each function's output is correct , num('0.32409178531','.##') output is => 0.32

num('40648.216','.##') output is => 40648.22

but combine these functions together

num('0.32409178531','.##') * num('40648.216','.##') output=> 13173.752893

The answer should be, 13007.

Can anybody help me? Thanks a lot for advance.

I think they taken 0.32 instead of 0.32409178531

floor(num('0.32','.##') * num('40648.216','.##')) . This will give you the exact value 13007

Hi Raghu,

But , i don't want to change the the value '0.32409178531' to '0.32'.

Because in the report the value may not be the fix.

Do you have any other way to do that.

Thanks a lot.

Take first two decimal places using functions and multiply with the number.

I think the only reason the value get changed because of '0.32409178531'. If you take only the first two decimal places then the answer will be correct.

Hello,

Can you try that :

=round(num('0.32409178531','.##'),0.01) * round(num('40648.216','.##'),0.01)

yeah philippe, your expression will give the answer.

we can use the floor function to get the numeric part.

=Floor(=round(num('0.32409178531','.##'),0.01) * round(num('40648.216','.##'),0.01))
