When using the INT function in WPS Spreadsheet on Windows, common questions usually involve errors, result differences, and batch use; this FAQ includes 3 common questions and a glossary.
FAQ
What should I do if the INT function returns an error?
- Check whether the parameter refers to text, spaces, or blank content.
- Confirm that the formula is written as
=INT(number). - If needed, clean the original data and calculate again.
Why is the INT result different from standard rounding?
- INT rounds down instead of using standard rounding rules.
- For positive numbers, it removes the decimal part and returns the smaller integer.
- For negative numbers, it continues toward the smaller integer, so the result can be lower than a simple truncation.
How can I use the INT function in multiple cells at once?
- Enter
=INT(...)in the first target cell. - After confirming the result, drag the fill handle down or across to copy the formula.
- Check whether relative or absolute references match your worksheet structure.
