how to stop rounding in reports

[tracyfarmer]

I have configured a report to pull information in from another software. When I create my totals in the footer, I want it to show only the whole numbers not the decimals. When I remove the decimals from the format field, the total is then rounded up to the next whole number. How can I stop it from doing this?

Hi Tracy Farmer

I would suspect that your field is the data type Number (naturally) and that the Field Size (lower half of the screen in Design View for the table - first property) is set to Integer or Long Integer (so it will save whole numbers - integers).

Change the setting to Single or Double .. no trouble!

I guess I should have stated that the information for my report comes directly to reports through ODBC. There is no table for me to edit the formats in. Any other thoughts?

well if the problem is that it is always rounding up, try doing the rounding in the text box. for example:

=Round([Field Name],0)

or specifics:
=Round(8.45,0) would equal 8
=Round(8.55,0) would equal 9
