Good day to everyone!

I'm hoping someone can help me with a script so the result doesn't round up or down. The issue is I am not using any decimal spaces so the result is rounding up. Here is my example:

field l6 = 101

field l9 = 200

field l10 = l6-l9 (this should give a result of (99) but it is rounding up to 100. I suspect that field l6 is where the issue might be because the result of 101 (which is field M2 * .02).

Any ideas on script that might resolve this issue would be much appreciated.

Use this:

event.value = Number(event.value).toFixed(2);

This will round the field's value to two decimals. If you want a whole integer, change 2 to 0 in that code.

The value is probably something else than what you see. Click into the field to see the actual value.

I found where I can see the actual value. Is it possible to write a validation script that narrows the value to number of decimals and takes the result from another field as the whole number?
