How can I always round up decimal values to the nearest integer value?

On a report I have the following code for a field:

=Sum([PartQty]*[ModuleQty])

Example results are 2.1 and 2.6. What I need is for these value to round up to the value of 3. How can I cha开发者_开发百科nge my field code to always round up the results of my current expression?

This is an old Access trick I learned a very long time ago, and it makes use of the way Access handles fractional, negative numbers. Try this:

-Int(-[DecimalValue])

It's odd, but it will always round your numbers up to the nearest whole number.

you could do

=Int(Sum([PartQty]*[ModuleQty]))+1

I think. That would get the Int part of the sum (2) and then add 1. you might need to be a little more clever as this will probably give you 3 even if the sum is exactly 2, which is probably not what you want.

not tested it but something along these lines might work (access syntax is not that great, but should give you the right idea) :

Iif(Sum([PartQty]*[ModuleQty])-Int(Sum([PartQty]*[ModuleQty]))=0,
     Sum([PartQty]*[ModuleQty]),
     Int(Sum([PartQty]*[ModuleQty]))+1)

Test this: Round(yournumber + 0.5, 0)
