Number To Round

💾 The number to round to fixed decimal places.

Supported formats:
  ✓ Number
  ✓ String

Decimal Places

🎯 Number of decimal places to keep.

Supported formats:
  ✓ Number
  ✓ String

Input Setup

Input Function (optional)

⚙️ Optional pre-processing function applied to the input before internal logic (e.g., convert object to string, normalize case). Internal transformations such as case handling will still apply afterward.

Result Handling

Output Function (optional)

⚙️ Optional function to apply to the result before returning it (e.g., str => str + ' €', val => val !== undefined for boolean conversion). Useful for chaining transformations on the output.

🔗 Result Handling — Chain Variables

Chain apply-mode variables to the output. Each variable receives the result of the previous one.
