Fix
Description Returns the integer portion of a number
Usage intVal = Fix(number)
Arguments number
The number argument can be any valid numeric expression.
Return An integer value
Remarks If number contains Null, Null is returned. Fix is internationally aware, meaning the return value is
based on the Locale setting on the PC. The data type will be determined from the size of the
Integer part. Possible return data types are Integer, Long, Double. Both Int and Fix remove the
fractional part of number and return the resulting integer value.
The difference between Int and Fix is that if number is negative, Int returns the first negative
integer less than or equal to number, whereas Fix returns the first negative integer greater than
or equal to number. For example, Int converts -8.4 to -9, and Fix converts -8.4 to -8. Fix(number)
is equivalent to: Sgn(number) * Int(Abs(number)).

Example MyNumber = Int(99.8) ' Returns 99.
MyNumber = Fix(99.2) ' Returns 99.
MyNumber = Int(-99.8) ' Returns -100.
MyNumber = Fix(-99.8) ' Returns -99.
MyNumber = Int(-99.2) ' Returns -100.
MyNumber = Fix(-99.2) ' Returns -99.
