truncate data

[Kousy]

Hi All,

I want to truncate data (for instance 12.x where x is any decimal from 0 to 9 to be shown as 12 only), Is there any direct function available to do this instead of do some round about work, the way I tried is shown in below attached png.

Thanks

Hi Kousy

Just open the properties of the control and select the "Format and Precision" tab. There you can set how the value should be displayed.

Hi becktho,

I dont want my data to get rounded off, by setting digits of precision to 0 but i want just to truncate the decimal part, functionality similar to the one available in c, vb etc.

I want to display 12.2 or even 12.8 to be displayed as "12" only not to 12 or 13 respectively.

Sorry I missed that.

I don't know of a specific method to do what you want, but you could simply use a round function. To still have the original data available, just round the data and wire it to a separate indicator.

Thanks becktho.

This is what I searched all over functions palettes. I am aware of round to nearest function. Even then I missed this functionality somehow. Anyway  thanks once again.
