Dear experts ,

I need to round the value 4.7619047619 to 4.8 , I used round(Percent1,1.0); and also tried with ceil function .

but I am getting the value 5 instead of 4.8

is there any simple technique to tackle this simple problem.

Regards,

data w;
have=4.7619047619;
want=round(have,0.1);
run;

Hi @ambadi007 Your objective is to round to the nearest 10th and not the whole number, so the above should meet your needs i think
