Rounding Functions

floor

Returns the largest rounded number less than or equal x. A rounded number is a multiple of 1 / 10 * N, or the nearest number of the appropriate data type if 1 / 10 * N isnt exact.

Integer arguments may be rounded with negative N argument, with non-negative N the function returns x, i.e. does nothing.

If rounding causes an overflow (for example, floor(-128, -1)), the result is undefined.

Syntax

floor(x[, N])

Parameters

  • x - The value to round. Float*, Decimal*, or (U)Int*.
  • N . (U)Int*. The default is zero, which means rounding to an integer. Can be negative.

Returned value

A rounded number of the same type as x.

Examples

Query:

SELECT floor(123.45, 1) AS rounded

Result:

┌─rounded─┐
│   123.4 │
└─────────┘

Query:

SELECT floor(123.45, -1)

Result:

┌─rounded─┐
│     120 │
└─────────┘

ceiling

Like floor but returns the smallest rounded number greater than or equal x.

Syntax

ceiling(x[, N])

Alias: ceil

truncate

Like floor but returns the rounded number with largest absolute value that has an absolute value less than or equal to xs.

Syntax

truncate(x[, N])

Alias: trunc.

Example

Query:

SELECT truncate(123.499, 1) as res;
┌───res─┐
│ 123.4 │
└───────┘

round

Rounds a value to a specified number of decimal places.

The function returns the nearest number of the specified order. If the input value has equal distance to two neighboring numbers, the function uses bankers rounding for Float* inputs and rounds away from zero for the other number types (Decimal*.

Syntax

round(x[, N])

Arguments

  • x — A number to round. Float*, Decimal*, or (U)Int*.
  • N — The number of decimal places to round to. Integer. Defaults to 0.
    • If N > 0, the function rounds to the right of the decimal point.
    • If N < 0, the function rounds to the left of the decimal point.
    • If N = 0, the function rounds to the next integer.

Returned value:

A rounded number of the same type as x.

Examples

Example with Float inputs:

SELECT number / 2 AS x, round(x) FROM system.numbers LIMIT 3;
┌───x─┬─round(divide(number, 2))─┐
│   0 │                        0 │
│ 0.5 │                        0 │
│   1 │                        1 │
└─────┴──────────────────────────┘

Example with Decimal inputs:

SELECT cast(number / 2 AS  Decimal(10,4)) AS x, round(x) FROM system.numbers LIMIT 3;
┌───x─┬─round(CAST(divide(number, 2), 'Decimal(10, 4)'))─┐
│   0 │                                                0 │
│ 0.5 │                                                1 │
│   1 │                                                1 │
└─────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

To retain trailing zeros, enable setting output_format_decimal_trailing_zeros:

SELECT cast(number / 2 AS  Decimal(10,4)) AS x, round(x) FROM system.numbers LIMIT 3 settings output_format_decimal_trailing_zeros=1;

┌──────x─┬─round(CAST(divide(number, 2), 'Decimal(10, 4)'))─┐
│ 0.0000 │                                           0.0000 │

Examples of rounding to the nearest number:

round(3.2, 0) = 3
round(4.1267, 2) = 4.13
round(22,-1) = 20
round(467,-2) = 500
round(-467,-2) = -500

Bankers rounding.

round(3.5) = 4
round(4.5) = 4
round(3.55, 1) = 3.6
round(3.65, 1) = 3.6

roundBankers

Rounds a number to a specified decimal position.

If the rounding number is halfway between two numbers, the function uses bankers rounding. Banker's rounding is a method of rounding fractional numbers When the rounding number is halfway between two numbers, it's rounded to the nearest even digit at the specified decimal position. For example: 3.5 rounds up to 4, 2.5 rounds down to 2. It's the default rounding method for floating point numbers defined in IEEE 754. The round function performs the same rounding for floating point numbers. The roundBankers function also rounds integers the same way, for example, roundBankers(45, -1) = 40.

In other cases, the function rounds numbers to the nearest integer.

Using bankers rounding, you can reduce the effect that rounding numbers has on the results of summing or subtracting these numbers.

For example, sum numbers 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 with different rounding:

  • No rounding: 1.5 + 2.5 + 3.5 + 4.5 = 12.
  • Bankers rounding: 2 + 2 + 4 + 4 = 12.
  • Rounding to the nearest integer: 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 14.

Syntax

roundBankers(x [, N])

Arguments

- `N > 0` — The function rounds the number to the given position right of the decimal point. Example: `roundBankers(3.55, 1) = 3.6`.
- `N < 0` — The function rounds the number to the given position left of the decimal point. Example: `roundBankers(24.55, -1) = 20`.
- `N = 0` — The function rounds the number to an integer. In this case the argument can be omitted. Example: `roundBankers(2.5) = 2`.
  • x — A number to round. Float*, Decimal*, or (U)Int*.
  • N — The number of decimal places to round to. Integer. Defaults to 0.
    • If N > 0, the function rounds to the right of the decimal point.
    • If N < 0, the function rounds to the left of the decimal point.
    • If N = 0, the function rounds to the next integer.

Returned value

A value rounded by the bankers rounding method.

Examples

Query:

 SELECT number / 2 AS x, roundBankers(x, 0) AS b fROM system.numbers limit 10

Result:

┌───x─┬─b─┐
