Calculated field with no decimals

[Guest]

How can I make the output of a calculated field display without decimals? The
calcualtion below works to calculate the calculated QT Time which is
cardiology related and I won't bore you with the details. I need the out put
to round up. I need to see 730 as opposed to 730.742003 for example. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Calc QTc: ([fldQT]/1000)/Sqr([fldRR]/1000)*1000

Thanks, Rob

Calc QTc: Int(([fldQT]/1000)/Sqr([fldRR]/1000)*1000)

However you said round up which would be 731.

Calc QTc: Format(([fldQT]/1000)/Sqr([fldRR]/1000)*1000),0)

Warning: Format returns a string and not a number.

You're correct, I need to round up. Your first example did not round up. Is
there a way to round up and keep it a number? Thanks, Rob

That's a different way of defining " round up" ;-)

If you just want to discard the frctional part of the
number, use the Int or Fix function
Calc QTc: Fix(([fldQT]/1000)/Sqr([fldRR]/1000)*1000)

Thanks to everyone. If I understood everyone correctly, there is no way to
round up without writing a funtion. There's no way to tell the caluculated
field to round up via the equation? If this is correct, where would I put the
function? In the form where the query's data is presented?

Thanks for your help. Rob

I don't know if you read further up in the thread where I acknowledged my
mistake of writing 730 when I should have written 731. Do you have a solution
to my problem (with the query)?

Using CLng will round up and down.

If your number is positive and you always want to round up to the next
higher positive integer use.

-Int(-[YourNumberField])

John, Thanks for your solution. I do want to round up and down, sop Van's
solution works best for my needs. Thank again, Rob

Sure, lots of them. Which one might be the one you want
depends on what you mean by "round up". If you want any
fractional part, regardless of how small, to take it to the
next higher integer, then it's called the Ceiling. John's
expression is a good way to do it.
