# How to round my calculation field to 2 decimal places?
## The fixed function rounds a calculation's result to a set number of decimal places — useful when a formula's raw output has more precision than you want the operator to see.
#### **What you'll build**
A calculation field that averages two weight readings and rounds the result to 2 decimal places.
Example: Calculate the average weight of 'weight 1' and 'weight 2'
#### **Step 1 — Build the formula**
In the calculation field, build your formula — for example, the average of `weight 1` and `weight 2`:
```
(data["weight 1"]+data["weight 2"])/2
```
#### **Step 2 — Wrap it in fixed()**
Specify how many decimal places to round to with `fixed`, where the number after the comma is the decimal place count:
```
fixed([insert formula] ,2)
```
Applied to the example above:
```
fixed((data["weight 1"]+data["weight 2"])/2,2)
```
