QUOTIENT function

Description

Performs division and returns only the integer portion of the division result.

Syntax

QUOTIENT (<numerator>, <denominator>)

Parameters

Return Value

A whole number.

Remarks

You can use this function when you want to discard the remainder of division.

If either parameter is non-numeric, QUOTIENT returns the #VALUE! error.

You can use a column reference instead of a literal value for either parameter. However, if the column that you reference contains a 0 (zero), an error is returned for the entire column of values.

Example

= QUOTIENT (5,3) returns 1. 
= QUOTIENT (-5,3) returns -1.
