Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-1874) (needs discussion)Description of Roundup is confusing
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-1874?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=19065#action_19065 ] Eike Rathke commented on OFFICE-1874: ------------------------------------- Gnumeric, Excel and OOo for ROUNDUP round away from 0: =ROUNDUP(9.4567;3) => 9.457 =ROUNDUP(9.4567;-3) => 1000 =ROUNDUP(-9.4567;3) => -9.457 =ROUNDUP(-9.4567;-3) => -1000 For ROUNDDOWN round towards 0: =ROUNDDOWN(9.4567;3) => 9.456 =ROUNDDOWN(9.4567;-3) => 0 =ROUNDDOWN(-9.4567;3) => -9.456 =ROUNDDOWN(-9.4567;-3) => 0 > (needs discussion) Description of Roundup is confusing > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: OFFICE-1874 > URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-1874 > Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC > Issue Type: Bug > Components: OpenFormula > Affects Versions: ODF 1.2 Part 2 CD 2 > Reporter: Andreas Guelzow > Assignee: Eric Patterson > Priority: Minor > > According to the description > If Digits is positive, round to the specified number of decimal places. If Digits is negative, round to the left of the decimal point by -Digits places. > So > =ROUNDUP(1.45673; -2) > should round to he left of the decimal point and yield 100. > Similarly > =ROUNDUP(9;1) > should be 9 but this seems to be inconsistent with: > The number returned is the smallest number that is not less than X and is a multiple of 10^Digits. > Tha sentence should probably be: > The number returned is the smallest number that is not less than X and is a multiple of 10^-Digits. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
