How to control the number of digits after the decimal point?

Hi,

we are calculating the average of three user inputs (decimal) and
store the result in a "readonly" variable.
The calculation gives us far too many digits after the decimal point.
How can we control the number of digits after the decimal point?

Thank you!

There is an int(.) function which converts numbers to integers. So if you
want to truncate at the 0.01's, you should be able to do

number( int(. * 100) ) / 100.0

Hi Mitch,
Just came across this number( int(. * 100) ) / 100.0 but I'm unable to use it.
Am having the calculation (today() - ${dob}) div 365.25 for the age.
How can I make sure the answer is in 2 decimal places?

Many Thanks,
John

The "." refers to the current field's value. If you are writing a
constraint for a field, you can write, for example,

. < 10

To constrain the answer for this field to be less than 10.

So in the original post, if you replace the "." with your calculation, it
should work.
