An easy way is:

Result:= StrToFloat(FormatFloat('######.##', FieldByName(FieldName).AsFloat));

FormatFloat transforms the value to a 2 decimal value in a string with
rounding and then the StrToFloat converts the resulting string to a Float
value. There might be other ways to do it too. You'll simply have to do
some research to find other approaches. This approach works for me,
because speed in this circumstance is not needed in my apps.

Hope this helps get started.
