Overnight Failure of ROUND and FLOOR Function... Anyone Else???

The ROUND and FLOOR functions no longer return valid numeric values.

Last night (6pm Central Time US 2/5/2021) these were fine. This morning, Saturday 2/6/2021 at 8am they return numbers with alpha-characters in the them.

I stripped my formula down to confirm that it is an issue with the QuickBase function and not my code.
When my formula is only the number:
.251
the result is correctly:
25.10000000%

When I change the formula to:
Round(.251,0)
the result is incorrectly:
-1.#IND0000%

The problem is repeatable across multiple forms and fields.  It breaks an important form we use 7 days a week.  I submitted a ticket to QuickBase, but in the past they did not respond on weekends.  Kinda puts us in a bind. 

Anyone else seeing this issue?

Thanks,

Glenn

I cannot duplicate that result, but when I do your formula
Round(.251,0)

I get minus 1

ie
-1

.. which is not correct.

If I just do Round(.125)  get 0 which is correct.

The default behaviour of Round is to round to zero decimals if the second parameter is omitted, but I do agree that there is something weird going on with round.  Its pretty odd since you would think that there is a risk of bugs at a release, but the new release is tomorrow, not today.

Well, since it turned out to break other formulas dependent on the garbage, I think changing my code is much easier... chase the broken data.  Much easier than if the return was a valid but wrong number!
