AW: [xsl] round-half-to-even problem.

2011-01-25 03:01:48
I still can't figure out how to round correctly. 

If I do format-number(1351.845, '.00') it gives me 1351.84
If I do format-number(298.155, '.00') it gives me 298.16   <- that's how I want 
it.

I have no idea why that happens.

If you are rounding for presentation purposes, then use:

  format-string(.,'.00')

... which rounds the third digit to the second digit simply, where 
"5" goes to the ceiling (a negative number gets smaller, a positive 
number gets bigger).

I hope this helps.
