Set fixed Decimal places with no rounding

[azza]

Hi.

Im trying to cut off the extra decimal places. i only want it to be 1dp or
2dp depending on the place. I used the LEFT function for the whole numbers,
and played with the =FIXED(A1,1) but this rounds the numbers.

Basically I want 90.789 to = '90.7'. 90.3985=90.3 90.333 = 90.3

The number is a result of a calculation.

Thanks.

TRUNC( 90.789, 1) = 90.7

Fantastic.

Had tobe something simple. It does not seem to let me to different number of
dp though. ie 90.7898 = 90.78 even after changing the no of digits to 2....

Thanks.

"90.7898 = 90.78 even after changing the no of digits to 2"

Isn't that what you want?
