This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the TRUNC function in Microsoft Excel.
Description
Truncates a number to an integer by removing the fractional part of the number.
Syntax
TRUNC(number, [num_digits])
The TRUNC function syntax has the following arguments:
-
Number Required. The number you want to truncate.
-
Num_digits Optional. A number specifying the precision of the truncation. The default value for num_digits is 0 (zero).
Remark
TRUNC and INT are similar in that both return integers. TRUNC removes the fractional part of the number. INT rounds numbers down to the nearest integer based on the value of the fractional part of the number. INT and TRUNC are different only when using negative numbers: TRUNC(-4.3) returns -4, but INT(-4.3) returns -5 because -5 is the lower number.
Example
Copy the example data in the following table, and paste it in cell A1 of a new Excel worksheet. For formulas to show results, select them, press F2, and then press Enter. If you need to, you can adjust the column widths to see all the data.
| Formula | Description | Result |
|---|---|---|
| =TRUNC(8.9) | Truncates 8.9 to return the integer part (8). | 8 |
| =TRUNC(-8.9) | Truncates a negative number to return the integer part (-8). | -8 |
| =TRUNC(0.45) | Truncates a number between 0 and 1, returning the integer part (0). | 0 |
HELLO GET OUT OF FINANCIAL MESS WITH THE HELP OF drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI have been in financial mess for the past months, I’m a single mum with kids to look after. My name is REBECCA MICHAELSON, and am from Ridley Park, Pennsylvania. A couple of weeks ago My friend visited me and along our discussion she told me about DR BENJAMIN OWEN FINANCE of (drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com); that he can help me out of my financial situation, I never believed cause I have spend so much money on different loan lenders who did nothing other than running away with my money. She advised, I gave it a try because she and some of her colleagues were rescued too by this Godsent lender with loans to revive their dying businesses and paying off bills. so I mailed him and explain all about my financial situation and therefore took me through the loan process which was very brief and easy. After that my loan application worth $278,000.00USD was granted, all i did was to follow the processing and be cooperative and today I am a proud business owner sharing the testimony of God-sent Lender. You can as well reach him through the Company WhatsApp +19292227023 Email drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com
