Determine the decimal precision of the calculation.

Set Precision

The precision field is on the left side of the calculation builder, in the information section.

Input the number of decimal places to round to.

Precision rounds using elementary school rounding.

  • Below .5 = round down

  • .5 and above = round up

The default value is 2. Calculation results will round to two decimal places.

To round to the nearest integer, input 0

Precision in Measure Components

Calculations created from measure components ignore the rounding in the called measures. To round the calculated result, set the precision of the calculation created from the measure components.
