CEIL

Description

Round up floating-point and fixed-point decimals to a specific number of places and return the rounded floating-point or fixed-point number.

Syntax

CEIL(<a>[, <d>])

Parameters

ParameterDescription
<a>Floating-point (Double) or fixed-point (Decimal) parameter indicating the parameter to be rounded
<d>Optional, integer, indicates rounding to the target number of digits, a positive number means rounding to the next decimal point, a negative number means rounding to the next decimal point, and 0 indicates rounding to an integer. When not filled, it is equivalent to <d> = 0.

Return Value

Returns the smallest rounded number greater than or equal to <a> according to the following rules.

Round to 1/(10^d) digit, i.e., make the result divisible by 1/(10^d). If 1/(10^d) is not exact, the rounding digit is the nearest number of the corresponding data type.

For an entry <a> of type Decimal, assuming it is of type Decimal(p, s), the return value is:

  • Decimal(p, 0),if <d> <= 0
  • Decimal(p, <d>),if 0 < <d> <= s
  • Decimal(p, s),if <d> > s
