I'm not sure I understand what you want to do. If you just want to remove decimals (turn 0.1231 into 0.12), just do this:
Val(Left$(Str$(VALUE), 3+Find(Str$(VALUE), ".", 0)))

You could use floor(value) to remove decimals as well.
So floor(2.3123) = 2.

If you're using a Counter Object, you can set the maximum number of decimal places; look in the Object Properties pane or whatever. Set it to 2, and the rounding happens for you automatically.

I don't know why but that has never worked for me.

It works sometimes. At extremes it breaks. There are a few operations you can't use on counters with that property.
Also I find this sometimes works to fix a unruly counter:
set counter to val(str$(counter value))
Hacky, but it works in some cases, but sometimes it doesn't. Try different things till you get it.
Also multiply by decimal values because that can mess them up too.
Divide instead:
Instead of: Value * 0.3
Do this: Value / 3
Not as exact, but usually the counter is being used to display a value from elsewhere anyway.
