How do I prevent a number from rounding up?

<wr:out value="23.5" type="NUMBER" pattern="0"/>

This outputs 24 in the report. I would like it to display 23 regardless of the number after the decimal. Is there a way to do this with Auto Tag in Word?

Hi, Margaret

I find that the easiest way to do this is by using the xpath floor funciton:

<wr:out select="floor(23.5)" type="NUMBER" pattern="0" datasource="car"/>

and make sure to use the select instead of value when using xpath attributes in the out tag.
