Managing numerical data in Excel often requires precision and customization, especially when dealing with decimal places. Whether you want to truncate the decimal places for visual clarity, formatting purposes, or data consistency, Excel provides several methods to achieve this. This article will guide you through various techniques to remove digits after the decimal in Excel efficiently.


Remove digits after decimal with INT function or TRUNC function

Suppose we have a purchase table as shown in the screenshot below, and we need to remove digits after the decimal for values in the Amount column. Excel functions can easily help you remove digits after the decimal. You can do as follows:

"INT function": In a blank cell besides the value from which you will remove digits after decimal, enter the following formula, and the drag the "Fill Handle" to the range you need.

Notes:
  • In the formula, E2 is the cell that you will remove digits after decimal.
  • The INT function can also retain specific decimal places if needed. For example, to remove all digits except the first one after decimal, you can apply the formula
    =INT(E2*10)/10

"TRUNC function": In a blank cell besides the value from which you will remove digits after decimal, enter the following formula into a blank cell, and then drag the "Fill Handle" to the range you need.

=TRUNC(E2,0)

Notes:
  • In the formula, E2 is the cell you will remove digits after decimal, 0 means removing all digits after decimal;
  • To retain only the first digit after the decimal, you can apply this formula:
    =TRUNC(E2,1)
Tip: Remove formulas but keep formula results: (1)select  all formula cells; (2) copy these formula cells with pressing the "Ctrl" + "C" keys at the same time; (3) right click the first cell of destination range, and select "Values" below "Paste Options" in the context menu.
