Fractional part.
FP(value)
Example:
returns
FP (23.2)
Rounds value to decimal places. Also accepts complex
numbers.
ROUND(value,places)
ROUND can also round to a number of significant digits if
places is a negative integer (as shown in the second example
below).
Examples:
ROUND(7.8676,2)
ROUND(0.0036757,-3)
Truncates value to decimal places. Also accepts complex
numbers.
TRUNCATE(value,places)
Example:
TRUNCATE(2.3678,2)
Mantissa—that is, the significant digits—of value, where
value is a floating-point number.
MANT(value)
Example:
MANT(21.2E34)
Exponent of value. That is, the integer component of the
power of 10 that generates value.
XPON(value)
Example:
XPON(123456)
Maximum. The greater of two values.
MAX(value1,value2)
Example:
.2
