A Question of Rounding in SQL Server Reporting Services

Rounding in report writing is always a tricky business.

Does one need to round up or round down, that is the question?

In SQL Server Reporting Services there are two rounding functions:

  • CEILING()

    Returns the nearest integer greater than or equal to the specified value, i.e. it will round up, regardless of the values to the right of the decimal point.

    =CEILING(1998.67) Returns 1999
    =CEILING(107741.11) Returns 107742

  • FLOOR()

    Returns the nearest integer less than or equal to the specified value, i.e. it will round down, regardless of the values to the right of the decimal point.

    =FLOOR(1998.67) Returns 1998
    =FLOOR(107741.11) Returns 107741
