Calculation question

Hi Guy,

How can I multiply 2 values in a calculation field (Width x Height) and then round it to 2 decimal places within the same calcualtion. I know I can create another field an round the result in there, but I would like to do it within the same field.

Any ideas?

Try this:

Round ( Width * Height ; 2 )

Be sure Width and Heigh fields are set to be Number fields and the Calculation field is set to return a Number value.
