rounding up with < .5 ?

[Subscriber]

Check out the trunc function. It only returns the integer part of a number.

if trunc(x)=x then                    --check the number is an integer
    return x
else
    return (trunc(x)+1)             -- if not then return the next integer
above
end if

I hope this is what you're after !
