Excel Tutorial – ROUND

The ROUND function in Microsoft Excel is a function that rounds a number to a specified number of decimal places. This function is useful for formatting numbers and making them easier to read and understand.

To use the ROUND function, follow these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Excel and select the cell where you want the rounded number to appear.
2. Type the following formula into the cell: =ROUND(number, num_digits)
3. Replace “number” with the number that you want to round.
4. Replace “num_digits” with the number of decimal places that you want to round the number to. If you want to round the number to the nearest whole number, you can omit the “num_digits” argument.
5. Press Enter to see the result.

The ROUND function rounds numbers according to the standard rounding rules. For example, if a number is halfway between two whole numbers, the ROUND function will round it up if the number is positive, and down if the number is negative.

You can also use the ROUNDUP and ROUNDDOWN functions to round a number up or down, respectively.

The ROUND function is a very useful tool for formatting numbers and making them easier to read and understand. You can use it to round numbers to a specified number of decimal places, or to the nearest whole number.
