Excel Tutorial – ROUNDUP

The ROUNDUP function in Microsoft Excel is a function that rounds a number up 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 ROUNDUP 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: =ROUNDUP(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 up to. If you want to round the number up to the nearest whole number, you can omit the “num_digits” argument.
5. Press Enter to see the result.

The ROUNDUP function always rounds numbers up, regardless of their value. For example, if a number is halfway between two whole numbers, the ROUNDUP function will round it up to the higher number.

You can also use the ROUND and ROUNDDOWN functions to round a number to the nearest whole number, or down to a specified number of decimal places, respectively.

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