VBA, true to its BASIC roots, provides a function to return the integer value of an expression. This means that anything to the right of the decimal point is truncated. Thus, if a formula would normally result in a value such as 18.73, then the integer value of that formula would result in 18.
The syntax for the integer function is as follows:
x = Int(y)
where x is the result and y is a value or an expression that evaluates to a value.

The expanation in this tip is true for positive numbers but if you want to remove anything to the right of the decimal point to be truncated for a negative number you have to use Fix(number).
Int(99.8) returns 99
Fix(99.2) returns 99
Int(-99.8) rururns -100
Fix(-99.8) returns -99
Int(-99.2) returns -100
Fix (-99.2) returns -99
