Syntax:
ROUNDDOWN(Number, n)
Description:
Rounds a number down (towards zero) to n decimal places.
n is the number of decimal places.
If n is omitted, Number is rounded to the nearest integer.
If n is a negative value, Number is rounded to the left of the decimal point. For example, if n is -2, Number is rounded to the nearest multiple of hundred (see second last example).
Note:
Negative numbers are not rounded down, but up (see last example). This is not mathematically correct, but for compatibility reasons it is implemented exactly as in Microsoft Excel.
Example:
ROUNDDOWN(1.234, 2) returns 1.23
ROUNDDOWN(1.235, 2) returns 1.23
ROUNDDOWN(888.999, 0) returns 888
ROUNDDOWN(888.999, -2) returns 800
ROUNDDOWN(-7.8, 0) returns -7
