I just got this program and need to make a form that calculates some fields. I watched a tutorial and got the FormCalc to do everything I want, but I am wondering if there is a way to make a returned value truncate at a set number of digits (like you can in Excel) rather than round up. For example, if my value is 45.5788 and I want it to display to two decimals, it rounds to 45.58 when I want it to show 45.57.

Got any tips for a newbie?

Thanks!

You can create a function using the ""Floor(x)" and the "Pow(s, y)"functions of FormCalc and multiplication and division to truncate to a given integer and convert back the required number of decimals.
