You have given us an ill defined problem.

1) If you want to convert float to int just use int() function.
s=int(f)

2) If you want to keep some fractional part of the float multiply
it by 10, 100, 1000, 10000, ... depending on how many digits of
precision you wish to retain and then take int().

s=int(f*10000)

would retain 4 digits of precision and throw away the remainder.

3) You can sort on float just fine, so why do you need int()?

(4) Who is the "dear sir" and what was his problem?

(5) How do you imagine that an Excel file could assist?
