Hi

You could use =INT(A1) to chop off the decimal part of the number.

Try searching Help for "round down" or simply "round".
You will discover ROUNDDOWN(). One answer to your
question is ROUNDDOWN(...,0).

PS: Note that there is a difference between INT() and
ROUNDDOWN() for negative numbers.

hi thanks for your help,the problem i am getting is when i use either int or
roundown it trims of the decimal piont but when it is a full digit ie 1 it
puts it to 0
thanks jnf

It can't!! It just chops off the fraction bit.

It could be that the number is actually less than 1 - but is formatted to
show 0 decimal places. If the number was 0.9966 and was formatted to show 0
decimal places, it would display 1 but an INT() on it would give you 0
