value
andfactor
must have the same sign; that is, they must both be positive or both negative.FLOOR
is most often used withfactor
set to a 'round' number such as0.1
or0.01
in order to round to a particular decimal place. However,factor
can, in fact, be any number of the same sign asvalue
, e.g.FLOOR(23.25,0.18)
which results in23.22
, which is 0.18 * 129. This can be used, for instance, to round down to a particular denomination of currency (e.g. 0.25 or 0.05 USD).
