Fix(Abs(Floor(-("number"))))

Is there a more elegant way to get the integer part of a positive number, making sure the result is bigger than the initial number.

Try using the Ceiling(x) command inside a function component. This will return the smallest integer that is greater than or equal to the variable x. So, in your example where x = 10.2, then 11 would be the smallest integer that is greater than 10.2. Hope that helps.
Additionally, the Floor(x) command will return the greatest integer that is less than or equal to the variable x. You can think of these as a "Round Up" or "Round Down" function to the nearest integer.
