I am trying to make a programme in vba to construct an axle in solidworks, this has to be done by entering the the forces it is exposed to in a userform. My formula works just fine, but I would like it to round up all the values to a whole number, because making a 35,65 mm diameter axle is just silly.
I know I can do use "Round(Diameter, 0)" for this, but I don't want it to round down because this would make it weaker.
Short: How does one round up a number to a whole number in VBA?
For example: 7,3 => 8
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Rob
VBA's True is mathematically equal to -1 and False to 0 so this should do it for you.
Dim axl as double
axl = 36.5
axl = int(axl) - (int(axl) <> axl)
debug.print axl
That assume that in a physical world, an axle's diameter cannot have a negative dimension. IOW, that formula rounds away from zero when axl is positive but rounds toward zero when axl is negative.
One last caveat; use exactly as provided and do not change Int(axl) to CInt(axl). CInt rounds the value to the nearest integer like Round(axl, 0) while Int strips off any decimal portion.
