Mikes Trello Tips - 🧮 Round Custom Field Number Up⬆️ or Down ⬇️

Following on from Mikes-Trello-Tips: Automation to truncate a numeric custom field...

This is a very quick article showing how to round a number up or down in Trello using automations and regex.

For this to make sense, please first read the article above!! ☝🏽

This simple example is just for rounding up to a whole number but you could do it for decimal points also by modifying the automations similar to the examples given in the guide above.

What we are doing

1. Matching the before the decimal place:
   40.12345
2. Matching if the number after the decimal place
   1.  If it matches 0-4
      40.12345
   2. If it matches 5-9
      40.5678
3. If it matches:
   1. 0-4: Set the field to the 40
   2. 5-9: Set the field to 40+1

Now, the Automations:

Automation 1

when custom field "Age" is set to "regex:/(\d*)\.(\b[0-4]).*/", set custom field "Age" to "{wildcard1}"

Automation 2

when custom field "Age" is set to "regex:/(\d*)\.(\b[5-9]).*/", set custom field "Age" to "{wildcard1} +1"
