Warning

The number type set in the ActionStep Floor determines the data type of its Result even if the variables and/or parameters that were set for the source are of different data types.

Information Using the Floor ActionStep for a negative number rounds it to the closest integer that is greater than its value. For instance, -27.30 results in -28 as its floor value.

Example 1 (Determine the floor value rating):

This example rounds the average value from two local variables, Rating 1 and Rating 2 with a Floating Point data type. The Result of the floor number is then output via the Message Box.
