ROUND Function

The ROUND function rounds a number to a specified number of digits, keeping reports and calculations consistent and readable.

Syntax

=ROUND(number, num_digits)

Examples

=ROUND(123.456, 2)   ' 123.46
=ROUND(123.456, 0)   ' 123
=ROUND(123.456, -2)  ' 100

A negative num_digits rounds to the left of the decimal point - useful for rounding to the nearest hundred or thousand.

ROUNDUP and ROUNDDOWN

Unlike ROUND, which rounds to the nearest value, these two always round in one direction.

=ROUNDUP(123.421, 2)    ' 123.43
=ROUNDDOWN(123.429, 2)  ' 123.42
Rounding only changes how a number is displayed in the calculation result - use cell formatting instead if you only want to change how a number looks without altering the value used in other formulas.
