# FLOOR

The FLOOR function returns the rounded down value of the specified number or node.

### Syntax

FLOOR(value) - > number

### Arguments

<table><thead><tr><th width="159">Arguments</th><th width="148">Datatype</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>value</td><td>Number/Node reference</td><td>The value or the node name that has the values to be rounded down.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Example

In the below example Sales target to achieve is 2200 and employee sales are given. Employees will receive 2% incentive of sale price for sales made more than the target. The sales price of a product is 1254. We need to calculate the incentive received by employee.

<table><thead><tr><th width="159"></th><th width="144">Jan</th><th width="64">Feb</th><th width="64">Mar</th><th width="64">Apr</th><th width="64">May</th><th width="64">Jun</th><th width="64">Jul</th><th width="64">Aug</th><th width="64">Sep</th><th width="64">Oct</th><th width="64">Nov</th><th width="64">Dec</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><mark style="color:purple;">Sales Target</mark></td><td>2200</td><td>2200</td><td>2200</td><td>2200</td><td>2200</td><td>2200</td><td>2200</td><td>2200</td><td>2200</td><td>2200</td><td>2200</td><td>2200</td></tr><tr><td><mark style="color:orange;">Employee Sales</mark></td><td>1850</td><td>2134</td><td>2489</td><td>1783</td><td>1965</td><td>2498</td><td>1934</td><td>2356</td><td>2793</td><td>3120</td><td>1897</td><td>2185</td></tr></tbody></table>

To achieve this, the following formula should be written in the \[Incentive] node

<mark style="color:blue;">**`FLOOR`**</mark>**`(`**<mark style="color:blue;">**`IF`**</mark>**`((`**<mark style="color:orange;">**`[Employee Sales]`**</mark>**`>`**<mark style="color:purple;">**`[Sales Target]`**</mark>**`),(`**<mark style="color:orange;">**`[Employee Sales]`**</mark>**`-`**<mark style="color:purple;">**`[Sales Target]`**</mark>**`),0) * 1254 * 0.02)`**

### **Result**

<table><thead><tr><th width="159"></th><th width="144">Jan</th><th width="64">Feb</th><th width="64">Mar</th><th width="64">Apr</th><th width="64">May</th><th width="64">Jun</th><th width="64">Jul</th><th width="64">Aug</th><th width="64">Sep</th><th width="64">Oct</th><th width="64">Nov</th><th width="64">Dec</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Incentive</td><td>0</td><td>0</td><td>7248</td><td>0</td><td>0</td><td>7473</td><td>0</td><td>3912</td><td>14872</td><td>23073</td><td>0</td><td>0</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Remarks

Without using FLOOR, the result would be:

<table><thead><tr><th width="159"></th><th width="144">Jan</th><th width="64">Feb</th><th width="64">Mar</th><th width="64">Apr</th><th width="64">May</th><th width="64">Jun</th><th width="64">Jul</th><th width="64">Aug</th><th width="64">Sep</th><th width="64">Oct</th><th width="64">Nov</th><th width="64">Dec</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Incentive</td><td>0</td><td>0</td><td>7248.12</td><td>0</td><td>0</td><td>7473.84</td><td>0</td><td>3912.48</td><td>14872.44</td><td>23073.6</td><td>0</td><td>0</td></tr></tbody></table>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.valq.com/model/formula-functions/math-functions/floor.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
