Problem rounding to the nearest 0.5

21 New Member
Hi everyone,

I have a code that I can use in Excel to round to the nearest 0.5, but I cannot get it to work in Access. When I try to execute it I get the following error message: "Compile error: user defined type not defined." Any idea what I need to do to change my code to work in Access?

Here's the code:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. 'Round to nearest 0.5
  2. Public Function vbaRoundTO(dblValue As Double, dblRoundTo As Double, _
  3.     Optional RoundingOption As rOpt = rNearest) As Double
  4.     Dim dblRoundedMutliple As Double
  5.     Dim dblValueDiv As Double
  6.     Dim dblValueNew As Double
  7.  
  8.      'Set default retrun value if dblRoundTo = 0
  9.     If dblRoundTo = 0 Then
  10.         vbaRoundTO = 0 'OR vbaRoundTO = dblValue
  11.         Exit Function
  12.     End If
  13.  
  14.      'Find multiple of RoundToSmallest
  15.     dblValueDiv = dblValue / dblRoundTo
  16.  
  17.      'Option to RoundUP or RoundDOWN
  18.     Select Case RoundingOption
  19.     Case rNearest
  20.          'Round multiple to nearest
  21.          'DO NOT USE VBA Round() function.
  22.          'VBA : Round(2.5,0) = 2, i.e. rounds >=0.5 to 0 not 1
  23.         dblRoundedMutliple = vbaRound(dblValueDiv, 0)
  24.     Case rUp
  25.          'Round multiple UP
  26.         dblRoundedMutliple = vbaRound(dblValueDiv, 0, 1)
  27.     Case rDown
  28.          'Round multiple DOWN
  29.         dblRoundedMutliple = vbaRound(dblValueDiv, 0, 2)
  30.     Case Else
  31.     End Select
  32.  
  33.      'Calculate new "rounded-to" value
  34.     dblValueNew = dblRoundedMutliple * dblRoundTo
  35.  
  36.      'Return value
  37.     vbaRoundTO = dblValueNew
  38.  
  39. End Function
  40.  
Thank you for helping!

I figured out the problem. I had failed to copy over all the necessary code. In case anyone needs it. Here it is.

Code:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. 'Set variables
  2. Public Enum rOpt
  3.     rNearest
  4.     rUp
  5.     rDown
  6. End Enum
  7. 'Rounding function
  8. Public Function vbaRound(dblValue As Double, intDecimals As Integer, _
  9.     Optional RoundingOption As rOpt = rNearest) As Double
  10.     Dim dblPlacesFactor As Double
  11.     Dim dlbRoundFactor As Double
  12.  
  13.     If intDecimals < 0 Then
  14.         vbaRound = 0
  15.         Exit Function
  16.     End If
  17.  
  18.     dblPlacesFactor = 10 ^ intDecimals
  19.  
  20.     Select Case RoundingOption
  21.     Case rNearest 'Round to Nearest
  22.         dlbRoundFactor = 0.5
  23.     Case rUp 'Round UP
  24.         dlbRoundFactor = 1
  25.     Case rDown 'Round DOWN
  26.         dlbRoundFactor = 0
  27.     End Select
  28.  
  29.     vbaRound = Int(dblValue * dblPlacesFactor + dlbRoundFactor) / dblPlacesFactor
  30. End Function
  31. 'Round to nearest 0.5
  32. Public Function vbaRoundTO(dblValue As Double, dblRoundTo As Double, _
  33.     Optional RoundingOption As rOpt = rNearest) As Double
  34.     Dim dblRoundedMutliple As Double
  35.     Dim dblValueDiv As Double
  36.     Dim dblValueNew As Double
  37.  
  38.      'Set default retrun value if dblRoundTo = 0
  39.     If dblRoundTo = 0 Then
  40.         vbaRoundTO = 0 'OR vbaRoundTO = dblValue
  41.         Exit Function
  42.     End If
  43.  
  44.      'Find multiple of RoundToSmallest
  45.     dblValueDiv = dblValue / dblRoundTo
  46.  
  47.      'Option to RoundUP or RoundDOWN
  48.     Select Case RoundingOption
  49.     Case rNearest
  50.          'Round multiple to nearest
  51.          'DO NOT USE VBA Round() function.
  52.          'VBA : Round(2.5,0) = 2, i.e. rounds >=0.5 to 0 not 1
  53.         dblRoundedMutliple = vbaRound(dblValueDiv, 0)
  54.     Case rUp
  55.          'Round multiple UP
  56.         dblRoundedMutliple = vbaRound(dblValueDiv, 0, 1)
  57.     Case rDown
  58.          'Round multiple DOWN
  59.         dblRoundedMutliple = vbaRound(dblValueDiv, 0, 2)
  60.     Case Else
  61.     End Select
  62.  
  63.      'Calculate new "rounded-to" value
  64.     dblValueNew = dblRoundedMutliple * dblRoundTo
  65.  
  66.      'Return value
  67.     vbaRoundTO = dblValueNew
  68.  
  69. End Function

Hi all, I just discovered a rounding error that occurs in C#. I'm sure this is an old issue, but it is new to me and resulted in a fair amount of time trying to track down the issue. Basically put the following code into your C# app: float testFloat2 = (int) (4.2f * (float)100); Console.Out.WriteLine("1: "+testFloat2); and the result will be 419

Hello everyone, I don't understand how the lrint() function works. long lrint(double x); The function returns the nearest long integer to x, consistent with the current rounding mode.

The built-in function round( ) will always "round up", that is 1.5 is rounded to 2.0 and 2.5 is rounded to 3.0. If I want to round to the nearest even, that is my_round(1.5) = 2 # As expected my_round(2.5) = 2 # Not 3, which is an odd num I'm interested in rounding numbers of the form "x.5" depending upon whether x is odd or even. Any idea about how to implement it ?
