hi all,

im currently creating a program that will calculate averages of 3 different numbers which, when calculated the answer is ouputted to a text box, what i need and cannot get is that obviously averaging by 3 you will get a decimal answer eg 1.6 etc, what i need to calculate or do is that if the textbox value = 0.6 and less it equals 0 then also if textbox value = greater than 0.7 but less than 1.6 then that will equal 1, then in turn > 1.7 < 2.6 = 2 and >2.7 <3.6 = 3 and >3.7 < 4.6 = 4 and lastly > 4.7 <5.6 = 5

ive tried using math.ceiling and floor but do not know how to round up and round down depending on those particular values

can any one please shed some light on this issue as its very urgent!

Thanks in advance

Luke :)

Round function can help you do this... also to have a complete contorl over this u can write your custom class to do this action which is best option ever

Try this

Imports System.Math

Public Class Form1
Dim dec1, dec2, dec3, decAnswer As Decimal

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
TextBox1.Text = 9
TextBox2.Text = 7
TextBox3.Text = 5
End Sub

Private Sub bttnAverage_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles bttnAverage.Click
dec1 = TextBox1.Text
dec2 = TextBox2.Text
dec3 = TextBox3.Text
decAnswer = (((dec1 + dec2 + dec3) / 3))
TextBox4.Text = Decimal.Round(decAnswer, 0)
End Sub

End Class
