MS Access: Creating a custom round function
Question: In Microsoft Access, I have an Overtime form for the employees. My problem is that while calculating the value, I need the following rules to apply:
If the fraction portion of the number is below 0.5, then I want to round the number down.
If the fraction portion is greater than or equal to 0.5, then the fraction should be 0.5.
For example, a value of 6.7 hours should display as 6.5.
Answer: To accomplish this, you need to create a custom function.
You'll need to open your Access database and create a new module.
Then paste into the new module the following function:
Function CustomRound(pValue As Double) As Double Dim LWhole As Long Dim LFraction As Double 'Retrieve integer part of the number LWhole = Int(pValue) 'Retrieve the fraction part of the number LFraction = pValue - LWhole If LFraction < 0.5 Then CustomRound = LWhole Else CustomRound = LWhole + 0.5 End If End Function
Now, when you want to round your values, you can use the round function as follows:
CustomRound (6.7) Result: 6.5 CustomRound (6.5) Result: 6.5 CustomRound (6.49) Result: 6.0
