You can also use the Fix function in a query in Microsoft Access.

For example:

Microsoft Access

In this query, we have used the Fix function as follows:

Expr1: Fix([UnitPrice])

This query will return the integer portion of the UnitPrice field and display the results in a column called Expr1. You can replace Expr1 with a column name that is more meaningful.

For example:

FixValue: Fix([UnitPrice])

The results would now be displayed in a column called FixValue.
