ENFORCENEGATIVEINTEGER(Number)

This function converts or enforces the given number or set of numbers to a 'negative integer value'.
Integer is the number without any decimal or fractional part but it can be the natural number with positive or negative sign.
If the $Number$ is positive decimal number, it is converted to negative number and rounded off to nearest integer.
If the $Number$ is negative decimal number, it is retained as negative number and rounded off to nearest integer.
Number 'zero' is natural number, neither positive nor negative.
The argument can also be a result of any function.

ENFORCENEGATIVEINTEGER(104) = 104
ENFORCENEGATIVEINTEGER(-2.45) = -2
ENFORCENEGATIVEINTEGER(4/7) = 0
ENFORCENEGATIVEINTEGER(-20/6) = -3
ENFORCENEGATIVEINTEGER(SUM([5,30])) = -35

For a set of numbers, the function displays a table as follows -
