What is TRUNC function in Excel?

TRUNC function is one of the Math and Trig functions in Microsoft Excel that truncates a number to an integer by removing the fractional part of the number.

Syntax of TRUNC function

TRUNC(number, [num_digits])

The TRUNC function syntax has the following arguments:

  • Number: The number you want to truncate.
  • Num_digits(Optional): A number specifying the precision of the truncation. The default value for num_digits is 0 (zero).
Worked Example:   Use of INT and TRUNC function in Excel

TRUNC formula explanation

TRUNC and INT are similar in that both return integers. TRUNC removes the fractional part of the number. INT rounds numbers down to the nearest integer based on the value of the fractional part of the number. INT and TRUNC are different only when using negative numbers: TRUNC(-4.3) returns -4, but INT(-4.3) returns -5 because -5 is the lower number.
