Hi,

I am trying to replicate payout from server. The server calculates 34.9345 as 34.94 but on airtable it gets rounded off as 34.93


What should I do to make sure it gives the same value 34.94?


Thanks in advance

Gokul

You probably won’t like my solution, but I found a way around it. You can view it (and even add it to your own AirTable Account using the “Copy Base” button in the top right corner) here: https://airtable.com/shrghj26WggRFFoOy


What I did:


Column 1

Type of Field: Text (only way for it to work)


Column 2

Type of Field: Formula

Formula: SEARCH(".", Number)


Column 3

Type of Field: Formula

Formula: VALUE(IF(MID(Number, VALUE({Decimal Position}) + 3, 1) > 0, REPLACE(Number, VALUE({Decimal Position}) + 3, 1, "9"),Number))

Format: Decimal; Precision: 1.00


There probably is a better way, and the official formula guide says that the “ROUND” function rounds up… but I couldn’t get it to work. If you are curious, you can check that out here: https://support.airtable.com/hc/en-us/articles/203255215-Formula-field-reference

A simpler solution might be use a formula like this:


ROUND(Amount + 0.00499, 2)

@Izaac_Post when using the ROUND formula, you have to also make sure to update the “Formatting” of the of formula so it displays the correct precision:

That would be a much better solution! Thanks for sharing, that will save me time in the future too!
