Remove Digits After Decimal in Excel (2 Methods)


There are two common ways to remove digits after a decimal place in Excel:

Method 1: Use TRUNC Function

=TRUNC(B2)

Method 2: Use INT Function

=INT(B2)

Both of these formulas will remove all digits after the decimal place for the number in cell B2.

The following example shows how to use each formula in practice with the following dataset in Excel:
