When a number is truncated using TRUNC, what is the result?

When a number is truncated using the TRUNC function in a system like NetSuite, the result is that all decimal values after the target number are removed. This means that if you apply TRUNC to a number, it effectively reduces the number to its integral part, discarding any decimal portion without rounding.

For example, using TRUNC on the value 12.75 would yield 12. This action is particularly useful in financial reporting or calculations where only whole numbers are necessary, as it provides a clear method to remove unwanted fractions without altering the base value through rounding.

Understanding this function is crucial for maintaining accuracy in data manipulation and reporting within NetSuite, ensuring that users can handle numerical data efficiently while adhering to specific formatting needs.
