I used this just this week to round measurements to the nearest 32 of an inch
set var vGranularity DOUBLE = 32 set var vNewValue = ((NINT(.vOldValue * .vGranularity) / .vGranularity) From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Karen Tellef Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2014 1:24 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Paying it forward - thanks for an old calculationtip! You're right it does! That goes into my notes, much easier to type!

I’ll bet this will do the same select totaltimess, (NINT(totaltimess * 2) / 2) from tmphone Dennis McGrath From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]?>] On Behalf Of Karen Tellef Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2014 1:04 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Paying it forward - thanks for an old calculation tip! Don't know who first posted this tip (hopefully no one will get ticked off because I don't remember who). But it's an oldy but goody that I needed to have today and never used before! So in case anyone else can use this code.... I got a request to round a number up or down to the nearest .5 increment. Such as: 9.05 9.0 19.61 19.5 3.7 3.5 3.9 4.0 0.37 0.5 Sure enough, found this lovely calculation in my notes: select totaltimess, (.50 * (int( 2 * (totaltimess + .25)))) from tmphone Works great!!
