Question

This is probably an easy one, but I’ve got this Excel vba macro where I’m trying to divide two integers and I end up with a round number, even though there should be a comma in there.
For example 278 / 101 = 3. While it’s really 2,75 and not 3. Why is this?

The macro is really simple, like this:

Dim intFull, intLow , intDivided as Integer
intFull = 278
intLow = 101
intDivided = intFull \ intLow

Answer 1

Your result variables is an integer

If you work with doubles instead you will get 2.752 etc – which can be rounded using dbDivided = Round(lngFull / lngLow, 2)

[variables updated to be more meaningful]

Sub redone()
    Dim lngFull As Long
    Dim lngLow As Long
    Dim dbDivided As Double
    lngFull = 278
    lngLow = 101
    dbDivided = Round(lngFull / lngLow, 2)
End Sub
