Re: AW: round-half-to-even problem.

I still can't figure out how to round correctly.

If I do format-number(1351.845, '.00') it gives me 1351.84
If I do format-number(298.155, '.00') it gives me 298.16<- that's how I want it.

I have no idea why that happens.

If you are rounding for presentation purposes, then use:

format-string(.,'.00')

... which rounds the third digit to the second digit simply, where
"5" goes to the ceiling (a negative number gets smaller, a positive
number gets bigger).

I hope this helps.
