Use of INT and TRUNC function in Excel

This example illustrates two functions to chop off decimals in Excel. The INT and the TRUNC function.

Int

The INT (Integer) function rounds a number down to the nearest integer.

Conclusion: the INT function only chops off decimals from positive numbers.

Trunc

Truncate a number to a given precision. The TRUNC (Truncate) function always chops off decimals.

The TRUNC function can keep any number of decimals and chop off the rest.
