How do I round off a variable in Testsand?

[Swal]

Hi,

I want to round off a variable upto 3 decimal places form 5 decimals. (for e.g If it is 20.12388 I want it to be rounded off to 20.124).

I went to the properties of that particular variable. I clicked on Numeric format and changed number of fractional digits to 3. But it just trancated the last 2 digits instead of rounding off.

Do you know any way to round of a number?

Thanks,

Swal

Swal,

It's kinda cludgey, but you can use this: Val(Str(Step.Result.Numeric, "%.3f"))

Hope this helps.

or

Round(<your value> * 1000 + .5) / 1000

Replace 1000 with 10^<number of fractional digits desired>

Btw, changing the numeric format doesn't change the actual value, only how it is displayed.
