Rounding Numbers

Hello,

You can specify the number of digits after the decimal
point to keep. For example, if you want to round
26579.88349 keeping four digits after the decimal, you can
use the following:

math.round (26579.88349, 4)
it should return
26579.8835

The integer can be anything from 0 to 15. Using 0 will
return a whole number.

Hi,

I have some logic that rounds decimal numbers

E.g

Math.Round(26579.80)

This gives
26580

However I want to get the nearest thousand which should
give
27000

How can I do this?

Thanks,
C
