Truncate (TRUNC)
Syntax: TRUNC(x; y)
The TRUNC function is different from other rounding functions. It does not round number x, but chops off its fractional part, leaving y digits after the decimal point (if the second argument is omitted, TRUNC chops off the whole fractional part of a number turning it into an integer). For example:
=TRUNC(12.5)
returns 12. The subtle difference between TRUNC and INT is best explained when you use the same negative number as an argument for these functions; for example:
=TRUNC(-15.72)
returns –15, while
=INT(-15.72)
returns –16.
In this example TRUNC is used with a second argument and
=TRUNC(16.2371; 2)
returns 16.23.
