[AccessD] Rounding. The collection.

[James Button]

Thanks - I'll be re-reading, and considering that later.

I frequently have 'fun' getting people to accept the problems with truncation in
displays, and the cumulative effect of rounding - 
e.g. 1/3 division of a sum of money - or presentation as a %
And the summing of 5 lots of 20% not being the base amount.

They get annoyed at spreadsheets that have an extra row that is to show
disparity in the results, or a calculation of a last portion that is the base,
less all the other calculated parts.

Would have voted a 'nice' except, without logging in as a member, I couldn't see
a place to vote.

Regards

Subject: [AccessD] Rounding. The collection.

Hi all

After many years I've managed to collect and polish the rounding functions I
have for VBA and posted these at Experts Exchange:

"Rounding values up, down, by 4/5, or to significant figures"

    http://rdsrc.us/4phszx

The challenge is to handle both the very large and very small numbers of Double,
floating point errors, and the large values and large count of decimals for
Decimal - as well as symmetrical/asymmetrical rounding up/down of
positive/negative values.
