Best Answer

By use of the truncate function. For example:

=TRUNC(B8,2)

This will truncate cell B8 to two decimal places.

Specifically, click the format button of a cell and input =trunc(<cell goes here>,<number of digits you want the decimal truncated to goes here>)

Make sure there are no spaces in the syntax.
