I need to always Round UP if greater than zero at all. HOW?

[RP]

I am in office 2007 Access DB -
I have quantities that are greater than Zero but the Round function will
round down to 0, if the number is not over .5 - how do I get it to ALWAYS
round UP to the next nearest whole number even if it's .00001?

 

[KARL DEWEY]

Try this --
IIF(Int([YourField])<[YourField], Int([YourField])+1 , [YourField])

 

[John Spencer]

If the number is always positive then the expression
-Int(-[YourField])
will always round up to the next integer value.

Using an idea posted by James Fortune recently the following will
round away from zero to any interval:

Public Function RoundFromZero(dblVal As Double, _
dblTo As Double) As Double
Dim intUpDown As Integer

If dblVal < 0 Then
intUpDown = 1
Else
intUpDown = -1
End If

RoundFromZero = intUpDown * (Int(dblVal / (intUpDown * dblTo)))
* dblTo

End Function

I would recommend against doing all the calculations in one go, as
that's where floating-point errors creep in. I would change this:

RoundFromZero = intUpDown * (Int(dblVal / (intUpDown * dblTo))) *
dblTo

....to this:

dblDenominator = intUpDown * dblTo
dblTestValue = dblVal / dblDenominator
RoundFromZero = intUpDown * IntUpDown * dblTo

....that approach is based on the principles outlined by Luke Chung
in his old article on writing your own rounding function, where he
recommended storing the result of any calculation in a variable of
known precision so that you don't compound floating-point
inaccuracies.

I take the point, David, and will implement it, but I think it
will need to be:

dblDenominator = intUpDown * dblTo
intTestValue = Int(dblVal / dblDenominator)
RoundFromZero = intUpDown * intTestValue * dblTo

Hmm. I forgot about the Int() function, and so, there really needs
to be another variable:

dblDenominator = intUpDown * dblTo
dblTestValue = dblVal / dblDenominator
intTestValue = Int(dblTestValue)
RoundFromZero = intUpDown * intTestValue * dblTo

That's based on the principle of storing a calculation result in a
variable with a fixed accuracy, and then only performing
calculations on the variable.

Appreciated as always.

As with so many things I post, they aren't original with me -- I'm
just passing on things I learned from people far smarter than I.
