Purpose
Get the integer part of a decimal by rounding down
Return value
The integer part of the number after rounding down
Syntax
=INT (number)
Arguments
- number – The number from which you want an integer.
Usage notes
Use the INT function when you want only the integer part of a decimal number, and it’s ok to always round the number down. For example, INT (3.99) returns the number 3.
It’s important to note that INT actually rounds down numbers to the next lowest integer value.
So, while INT (10.8) = 10, INT(-10.8) = -11.
Use the TRUNC function if you want the exact integer part of both negative and positive numbers.
