# FLOOR

Rounds a number down, toward zero, to the nearest multiple of significance.

## Syntax

FLOOR(<number>, <significance>)


### Parameters

Term Definition
number The numeric value you want to round.
significance The multiple to which you want to round. The argumentsnumber and significance must either both be positive, or both be negative.

## Return value

A decimal number.

## Remarks

• If either argument is nonnumeric, FLOOR returns **#VALUE!**error value.

• If number and significance have different signs, FLOOR returns the **#NUM!**error value.

• Regardless of the sign of the number, a value is rounded down when adjusted away from zero. If the number is an exact multiple of significance, no rounding occurs.

• This function is not supported for use in DirectQuery mode when used in calculated columns or row-level security (RLS) rules.

## Example
