    division on vba with formating

    i have 4 fields. 1. Principle 2. IntRate 3. days 4. IntPerDay. I have to find interest per day and total interest

    Me.IntPerDay.Value = Nz([Principle], 0) * Nz([IntRate], 0) / 36500 for per day interest

    and

    Me.Interest_Debit.Value = [Days] * [IntPerDay] for total interest

    suppose i have principle amount 123.32 and interest rate 12.33 and day 5

    then

    i got

    Interest per day = 0.0416 and


    total interest = 0.2082

    but i want

    Interest per day = 0.04 and
    total interest = 0.20


    can it is possible.
    Thank you in advance

    Wrap your expression in the Round Function

    total interest = 0.2082
    ...
    total interest = 0.20
    Do you really want .2082 to round down to .20, or should it round to .21?

    If this is real money, you'd be legally safer by keeping the decimals in the daily rate and rounding or truncating the end total. When I did this kind of thing, the standard was to truncate to .20 and retain the .0082 in unpaid interest differential in a different field, to add to the result next time.

    I see, so it looks like you want to apply the rounding to the factor before the multiplication.
    Just apply the ROUND function to that part of your formula before multiplying (see Alan's post/reference on rounding), i.e.
    Code:
    Me.Interest_Debit.Value = [Days] * Round([IntPerDay],2)

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
