 |
|
Question: In Access, I have an Overtime form for the employees. My problem is that while calculating the value, I need the following rules to apply:
If the fraction portion of the number is below 0.5, then I want to round the number down.
If the fraction portion is greater than or equal to 0.5, then the fraction should be 0.5.
For example, a value of 6.7 hours should display as 6.5.
Answer: To accomplish this, you need to create a custom function.
You'll need to open your Access database and create a new module.
Then paste into the new module the following function:
| Code: | Function CustomRound(pValue As Double) As Double
Dim LWhole As Long
Dim LFraction As Double
'Retrieve integer part of the number
LWhole = Int(pValue)
'Retrieve the fraction part of the number
LFraction = pValue - LWhole
If LFraction < 0.5 Then
CustomRound = LWhole
Else
CustomRound = LWhole + 0.5
End If
End Function |
Now, when you want to round your values, you can use the round function as follows:
CustomRound (6.7) would return 6.5
CustomRound (6.5) would return 6.5
CustomRound (6.49) would return 6.0
