Syntax:

INT(Number)

Description:

Rounds Number down to the nearest integer.

Note:

When applying this function to negative numbers, note the difference between this function and other round functions such as ROUNDDOWN:

ROUNDDOWN(-1.234, 0) returns -1, because here the amount of number is rounded down to the next smaller integer.

INT(-1.234) results in -2, since here the negative number itself is rounded down to the next smaller integer.

Example:

INT(5.9) returns 5

INT(-5.1) returns -6
