Try this:

178.9964
=A0=3D
[math]
[math]
((fl= oor(178.9964*100))/100)
[/math]

Hi

Can anyone tell me the best way to truncate a number using [format] rather = than having it round up/down.

Eg. I have 178.9964 as a value, and I need 178.99 as the outcome

Obviously using [format .2f][value][/format] will round this to 179.00, so = I need another method.


Thanks all,
