  • 1.  Issue with transforming data

    Posted 15 days ago

    Hi, 

    My programme gives out data which is not exactly precise and I get my variables in approximate values (it should be 0.1, 0.22, 0.3, etc). For instance, the values are:

    .090909094

    .100000001

    .100057390

    0.95480002

    When trying to perform analysis this is burdensome and I am trying to transform these values into exact numbers but can not figure out exactly how to do it. I have tried many ways of </>, etc, but nothing seems to work. Could someone please enlighten me how this can be done?

    Thanks, 

    Dom

    can you use the round or truncate function?

    You can  use the RND function with COMPUTE to round the values to any desired number of decimal places.  You could, alternatively, use TRUNC.
