Check the below example that may help you. Please note that, when you say integer, as a default it only allows the whole number, so fundamentally you can not add a decimal number in an integer data type. In your iLogic code, I would suggest if you are using the decimal number (like 0.01) please assign them Double or Float data type.

For your query here, you can use Math.Ceiling function in iLogic to round up any decimal number. see below example that will help you.

x = 0.01 ' assigned x as 0.01

y = Math.Ceiling(x) ' rounding up x to 1 and storing in another variable called y

MessageBox.Show(y) ' showing y in messagebox.

i read your post over the Snippets of Math. this should work but how can i set the ceil() in a code?

You can do like this Ceil(0.01). Enter the value that you want to round up in bracket, To return that value, you need to store it in any parameter or variable and then you can use it.

Also, read carefully my above post where I have tried explaining the same with an example.

Hope this will help you.
