QUOTIENT

  • Article

Applies to: Calculated column Calculated table Measure Visual calculation

Performs division and returns only the integer portion of the division result. Use this function when you want to discard the remainder of division.

Syntax

QUOTIENT(<numerator>, <denominator>)

Parameters

Term Definition
numerator The dividend, or number to divide.
denominator The divisor, or number to divide by.

Return value

A whole number.

Remarks

  • If either argument is non-numeric, QUOTIENT returns the #VALUE! error value.

  • You can use a column reference instead of a literal value for either argument. However, if the column that you reference contains a 0 (zero), an error is returned for the entire column of values.

Example

The following formulas return the same result, 2.

= QUOTIENT(5,2)

= QUOTIENT(10/2,2)
