I would not be misunderstood. I had understood that Alex wanted a forced increase "Round". To recap: Dim n As Float = 26.66016 Dim b As Byte Print Int(n * 100) / 100 ' Normal truncate, as already mentioned by other Print Round(n, -2)' Normal

Also consider: - Public Sub Main() Dim fNum As Float[] = [26.66016, 26.66516] 'Note 26.660.. and 26.665.. Dim fTemp As Float For Each fTemp In fNum fTemp *= 100 fTemp += 0.5 fTemp = Int(fTemp) fTemp /= 100 Print fTemp;; Next 'Output 26.66 26.67 End - Check

One thing that could be useful? Public Sub Main() Dim n As Float = 26.66016 Dim b As Byte b = Val(Mid(CStr(Frac(n)), 5, 1)) Print Round(n, -2) If b >= 5 Then Print Round(n, -2) Else Print Round(n + 0.01, -2) Endif End Regards Gianluigi 2017-07-13 7:39 GMT+02:00

I can say this is the best way to do what you want, but I use the following: * Print Int(100.55 * 100) / 100.00 Print Round(100.55, -2)* The first operation truncates the number to 100.55 (no rounding takes effect). The second operation rounds the number to at most two digits after

Peace to all, this might a bit silly but what is the best way to format float values like 26.66016 into having two digits AND/OR with rounding them? e.g. 26.66016 becomes 26.66 shortened 26.66016 becomes 26.67 rounded cheers! -- View this message in context:
