Math.Round Utility in Salesforce

Now rounding your number to desired decimal value is no longer a headache.


How?????


Just use the below method and pass your decimal number as first parameter and the decimal places as second parameter. 
public Decimal roundNumber(Decimal roundNumber , Integer decimalPlace)
    {
        if(roundNumber != null)
        {
            Decimal decPlace = Math.POW(10 , decimalPlace) ;
            return Math.round(roundNumber * decPlace) / decPlace ;
        }
        else
        {
            return 0 ;
        }
    }


Presently salesforce provides Math.Round(your_number) which will return the number after rounding with no decimal values.


For example : If I do this
System.debug('Rounded number : ' + Math.Round(2.333454)) ;


It will return Round Number : 2


I don't find way to get number round with two decimal places like in this case if I want the number to be rounded with two decimal places then it should return 2.33


Above method makes it pretty simple, we only need to pass decimal value and the decimal places in method like this :
Decimal num = roundNumber(1.567 , 2) ;
System.debug('num ::::: ' + num) ;
It will return 1.57


Also another way to round number by decimal places is :
Decimal d = 1.426 ;
Double num = d.setScale(2) ;
System.debug('num ::::::::::::: ' + num) ;


Cheers

  2. Decimal num = roundNumber(1.567 , 2) ;
    System.debug('num ::::: ' + num) ;

    It will return 1.57.

    I believe you have made mistake . I think it must be 1.56 )

  3. Have you tried this??
    I think this is right as I want numbre to be rounded with 2 decimal places and if I am rounding the number 1.567 then it should return 1.57 as 7 is greater than 4. If I have written 1.563 then it should return 1.56 as 3 is smaller than 4.

    1. Hi ankit,

      Please help in calculatine me Amortization Amount. Following is the detail and Formula. and please let me know how can we do in Apex.

      r = Interest/period 1%
      n = Number of period 36
      P = Principal amount $10,000.00
      A = Amortization


      Formula: =+E9*((E7*(1+E7)^E8)/((1+E7)^E8-1))

      There is one PMT method in Excel that will give result $332.14 for above values.

      This is the PMT function in Excel
      =-PMT(E7,E8,E9)

  4. This function is cool. However it wasn't correct when I tried to round a large number

    roundNumber(50000000.24567, 2) -> 7050327.29
    roundNumber(22000000.24567, 2) -> -20949672.71

  5. Decimal num = roundNumber(1.567 , 2) ;
    System.debug('num ::::: ' + num) ;

    This is giving error.
    Method does not exist or incorrect signature: roundNumber(Decimal, Integer).
