Rounding Cubic Yard Label

[JLU_Design]

I've been stumped on this for a while.

I want the volume of a concrete slab displayed in cubic yards rounded to one decimal point in the label.

 

What I'm using in the label:

 

%thickness% Concrete Slab

%volume.to_s('cu yd')%

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Ruby is a programming language, not something exclusive to Chief, so a web search will find syntax to try.

And a forum search should also find some helpful info as rounding is a common question.

I understand and have done that.

.round does not work for some reason

 

I thought someone familiar with Ruby and Chief might be able to quickly tell me what I need to do.

I've messed around with this off and on for several months.

Well, I guess I just needed to ask to figure out a solution my self.

 

%thickness% Concrete Slab

%volume.to_s('cu yd')%

%((volume.to_f)/27).ceil(1)% cu yd

 

 

This is a way to do it...

If someone has a better way let me know.

Thanks

Try the line in bold.

 

%thickness% Concrete Slab

 

%volume.to_s('cu yd')%

 

%(volume/27).round(1).to_f% CU YD

Thankyou!

 

That looks better I think.

Not so many brackets.

 

This is what I'm using after your input:

 

%thickness% Concrete Slab

%(volume/27).ceil(1).to_f% cu yd

 

Because I decided I want it rounded up.
