Outline

When generating reports for the Service Desk module, for the categories that contain time values like Ticket Timeentries.Timespent, I want to be able to see the numbers approximated to their nearest values.

Exago formula for Round function can be used here. Add the function to the cell layout or double click or right-click on the column to insert a formula.

Add this formula to your field: 

  • =Round({Ticket Timeentries.Timespent}, 0) This will round the value to 0 decimal place, 9.19 will be rounded to 9
  • =Round({Ticket Timeentries.Timespent}, 0) This will round the value to 1 decimal place, 9.19 will be rounded to 9.2
