Hi!

I'm sure this is real easy.

When I divide two numbers, or have a decimal number, I only want the digits to the left of the decimal. Aside from:

Left(MyDecimalNumber, InStr(1, MyDecimalNumber, ".")

is there a more mathematical way of doing this?

Please note that I'm not looking to round the number.

Thanks in advance,
Paolo.
 
Or use integer division - use the backslash instead of forward slash:

10/3 = 3.33333333333333
10\3 = 3
