How to Use the INT Function in Report Custom Columns?

In this tutorial, we'll learn how to design an expression using the INT function, which removes the decimal part of a number and returns only the integer portion.

Accessing the Expression Designer:

• Open Sale Voucher or any document.

• Navigate to the "Setup Column Attributes".

• Here, you'll see a list of available columns that can be used to build expressions.

• Click on "Add/Edit Expression Columns" where you can write your expression using predefined functions.

Writing Your First Expression

• Every expression must start with the script header: '#@LSCRIPT

• Click the (+) Plus icon to create a new expression.

• Fill in the required fields:

  • Expression Name – A unique name for your expression.

  • Expression Type – Choose either Text or Numeric depending on the expected output.

• Double-click on the newly created expression to insert it into the script editor.

• Define the expression using the syntax:

  • Expression Name = INT(SALE_RATE)

• Save the expression.

• Scroll down and check the box to enable the expression in the grid.

• Save and proceed to check the effect.

• The column will now appear in the grid.

• Review the result: the function will display only the integer part of the field value (e.g., 999.45→ 999).

Applying the Expression in a Report

• Navigate to the Reporting section.

• Open the Sales Register Detailed Report or any "Report".

• Go to Setup Column Attributes as you did earlier.

• Before adding the expression to the report, go to Other Settings.

• Ensure the Script Editor is set to VBScript.

• Click Save.

  • Note: VBScript is the default for new configurations but always verify this setting.

Adding and Using the Expression in the Report

• Return to "Setup Column Attribute" window.

• Click "Add/Edit Expression Columns".

• Every expression must start with the script header '#@LSCRIPT

• Click the (+) Plus icon to create a new expression.

• Fill in the required fields:

  • Expression Name – A unique name for your expression.

  • Expression Type – Choose either Text or Numeric depending on the expected output.

• Double-click the expression name to insert it into the editor.

• Define the expression using the syntax:

  • Expression Name = INT( RATE_PACK)

• Save the expression.

• Scroll down and check the box to enable the expression in the grid.

• Save and proceed to check the effect.

• Refresh the report to view the final result.

Output:

• The column will now show only the integer portion of the specified field.

• Example: if the sale rate is 2350.82, the INT function will return 2350.
