Type: io_math_round

the Round/Floor/Ceiling block

Convert decimal numbers to whole numbers using different rounding strategies. Perfect for cleaning up sensor readings (23.7°F → 24°F), creating clean display values (3.14159 → 3), or preparing data for systems that only accept integers. Choose round for normal rounding, floor for always rounding down, or ceiling for always rounding up.

Fields ​

Operation ​

Choose how to convert your decimal to a whole number:

  • Round: Standard rounding: 0.5 or higher rounds up, below 0.5 rounds down (e.g., 23.7 → 24, 23.4 → 23, 23.5 → 24). Best for general use and displaying clean values.
  • Floor: Always rounds down to the nearest whole number, regardless of decimal value (e.g., 23.9 → 23, 23.1 → 23). Perfect for counting items, time calculations, or when you need conservative estimates.
  • Ceiling: Always rounds up to the nearest whole number, regardless of decimal value (e.g., 23.1 → 24, 23.9 → 24). Great for capacity planning, ensuring minimum values, or safety margins.

Inputs ​

Value ​

The decimal number you want to convert to a whole number. Examples: sensor readings like 72.8°F, calculated values like 3.14159, or any numerical data that needs to be simplified. Non-numeric values will be automatically converted to numbers where possible.
