How-to Guide

1. Create a formula field and call ROUNDDOWN

Entry point: Add Field → Formula

  1. Open the multidimensional table or spreadsheet file you want to edit.
  2. Click Add Field.
  3. Select Formula as the field type.
  4. Enter an expression that includes ROUNDDOWN in the formula editor.
  5. Click Confirm or save the setting and check whether the result is calculated automatically.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: A new formula field is created and shows a calculated result.
  • Next action available: You can continue editing the formula or referencing other fields.

Tips While Using

  • Make sure the referenced field is numeric or can participate in numeric calculation.
  • If an error appears, check the parentheses, commas, and parameter order first.

2. Set the ROUNDDOWN parameter format

Entry point: Formula Editor → Function Input Area

  1. In the formula editor, type ROUNDDOWN(.
  2. Enter the number to process or a field reference first.
  3. Enter the number-of-places parameter next.
  4. Use a positive number to keep decimal places, or use 0 to round to an integer.
  5. Save the formula and check whether the result matches your expectation.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: The formula saves normally without a syntax error.
  • Next action available: Changing the parameter updates the result accordingly.

Tips While Using

  • Different place values produce different displayed results.
  • If you reference a text field, you may not get a valid numeric result.

3. Write common ROUNDDOWN examples

Entry point: Formula Editor → Example Formula Input

  1. Enter a formula such as ROUNDDOWN(3.14159, 2).
  2. Check whether the result rounds downward to two decimal places.
  3. Replace the sample number with field references when needed.
  4. For more complex calculations, place ROUNDDOWN inside a longer formula.
  5. Save the formula and confirm that the result refreshes when data changes.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: The example formula returns a readable result.
  • Next action available: You can reuse it in other fields or templates.

Tips While Using

  • When you build nested formulas, test the ROUNDDOWN result separately first.
  • Before applying it widely, test it on a small set of records.
