What outcome does the Ceiling function provide in Qlik Sense?

The Ceiling function in Qlik Sense is designed to round numbers up to the nearest whole integer. This means that regardless of the decimal part of the number, the function will always increase it to the next highest integer. For example, if the input is 2.3, the output will be 3, and for a negative number like -2.3, the output will be -2, as it rounds up toward zero.

This functionality is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to ensure values meet certain thresholds or limits, such as budgeting or inventory calculations. In contrast, other options describe different rounding behaviors that do not align with what the Ceiling function provides. For instance, rounding down, rounding to the nearest even number, or returning numbers unmodified do not reflect the nature of the Ceiling function.
