Ignoring decimal places

[DathanMD]

Dear Colleagues

Would be kind enough to crack this for me? Tx

I have a numerical value with decimal places. I would like to ignore the decimal places so that the new variable (want) has looks (and is equal to) the original variable after ignoring the decimal place. Kindly see an example of  the data i have versus what i want;

Have           Want
23                 23
22.1              221
0.9                 9
2.23              223
1.011             1011
0.0001           1
9                    9

Thank you so much

Dathan
