This is a quick tip this week - Whole Numbers. Has there ever been a time when you wish to return how many whole numbers are in a division equation, without the decimals. As an example, how many 6’s are there in 32.
If you used the usual Access formula:
32/6
then the result would be:
5.333333 etc.
You could try rounding the number or setting the decimal place to display only integers, but both of these may not give you the correct result each time.
A quick and easy way is to use the following formula:
32\6
Note the slash is a back slash instead of the normal forward slash of the division key.
This formula will give you the result of:
5
Remember, if using this formula in a form or report, add an = sign to the beginning. |
