Does anyone have a method for implementing the CEIL math function in FOCUS? Simple rounding will return an incorrect result. In FOCUS, rounding 2.3 will yield a 2; rounding -2.3 will yield -3.
Definition: The ceiling function returns the smallest integer not less than x.
For example, ceiling(2.3) = 3, ceiling(2) = 2 and ceiling(−2.3) = −2.

Yes, except when dealing with a negative value. I used an IF test to see determine whether the value is positive (if so, add 1 else don't). It seems to be working fine. Thanks.
