floor

description

Syntax

T floor(T x[, d])

If not specified d: returns the largest integer value less than or equal to x, which is the most common usage. Otherwise, returns the largest round number that is less than or equal to x and flowing the rules:

If d is specified as literal:
d = 0: just like without d d > 0 or d < 0: the round number would be a multiple of 1/(10^d), or the nearest number of the appropriate data type if 1/(10^d) isn't exact.

Else if d is a column, and x has Decimal type, scale of result Decimal will always be same with input Decimal.

:::tip Another alias for this function is dfloor. :::
