Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
If you want to simply chop off the decimal part then there is
=TRUNC(A1/99,0)
or just
=TRUNC(A1/99)
since the default number of decimal places for TRUNC is 0.

This could be relevant to you if it is possible that the value being shortened (99/A1 in your case) is negative. For example,
=INT(-7.2) = -8
=FLOOR(-7.2,1) = -8
but
=TRUNC(-7.2) = -7

I don't understand why =INT(-7.2) show the answer -8
while =TRUNC(-7.2) is -7. I did a simply =(-7/2) then the answer is "3.5" so means the INT rounded it off "4" while TRUNC just rounded it off "3".

People are often misled by the name of the INT() function. INT is short for integer but it is because the function returns an integer, not because it returns the integer part of its argument. From the Help on INT:
Description
Rounds a number down to the nearest integer.
So rounding -7.2 down to the nearest integer gives -8.


Whereas for TRUNC():
Description
Truncates a number to an integer by removing the fractional part of the number.

I don't understand why you are questioning the maths when in your original post you said you wanted 1.8 to be 1 which surprised me if you wanted it to be above 0.5 to read up or below 0.5 to read down then
the round function would ahve worked.

=ROUND(C1)
