Round value to decimals?

[Outcast]

I am trying to round a number to two decimals. So for example 2.453156 should be 2.45
I have tried round() but that only rounds completely so the number above becomes 2
Anyone know?

FloatToString$(>Value<, >Number of digits<, >Number of digits after decimal point or -1< )

Convert it to string and back to text!

I tried with a counter, set counter to: FloatToString$(2.3432, 5, 2)
But i get an expression error? "Enter a numeric expression"

O i see you have to actually convert it to a real string and then to number, thanks : )

As you've probably found, that function returns a string, so you would need to wrap the whole expression with Val() to convert it back to a number.

Alternatively, you could multiply the original value by 100, then use Round() then divide it by 100.0

Oh you can use Val() to do it on the fly? That's cool, gotta give it a go. Thanks for the heads up.

Interesting method, will try that to! J3sseM:s way worked, but if you don't need to involve a string or alterable string that is useful!
