Keith,
You have 2 options, use the INSTR and LEFT functions OR multiply the value
up, convert it using the INT function then divide it back down. See
examples below;
Option 1:
Dim Answer as String
Dim Ptr As Integer
Answer = CStr( (10 * 100.5) / 46) 'Calculate your value and
convert to a string
Ptr = Instr(Answer, ".") 'Check if the result
has a DECIMAL
If (Ptr = 0) Then 'If there is NOT a
decimal
TextBox2.Text = Answer 'Display the answer
as-is
Else 'Otherwise
TextBox2.Text = Left(Answer, Instr + 3) 'Display the string up
to the Decimal + next 3 characters
End If
Option 2:
Dim Answer As Double
Answer = (10 * 100.5) / 46
Answer = Answer * 1000
Answer = Int(Answer)
Answer = Answer / 1000
TextBox2.Text = Answer.ToString
NOTE: In Option 2 you could perform all the math on 1 line as in;
TextBox2.Text = (Int(((10 * 100.5) / 46) * 1000) / 1000).ToString

Hello,
Let's say Textbox1.text = 10
size = 46
answer = (Val(TextBox1.Text) * 100.5) / size
TextBox2.Text = Format(answer, "#######.000")
The answer is: 21.847830...
However, when I get the result in textbox2.text - it shows:
21.848
While I understand that this is rounding up - how can I
make it so that I still get the 3 decimal places - but it
shows:
21.847
(without the rounding)
