by The tutorial explains the uses of ROUND, ROUNDUP, ROUNDDOWN, FLOOR, CEILING, MROUND and other Excel rounding functions and provides formula examples to round decimal numbers to integers or to a certain number of decimal places, extract a fractional part, round to nearest 5, 10 or 100, and more.
In some situations when you don't need an exact answer, rounding is a useful skill to use. In plain English, to round a number is to eliminate the least significant digits, making it simpler but keeping close to the original value. In other words, rounding lets you get an approximate number with the desired level of accuracy.
In everyday life, rounding is commonly used to make numbers easier to estimate, communicate or work with. For instance, you can use rounding to make long decimal numbers shorter to report the results of complex calculations or round off currency values.
Many different ways of rounding exist, such as rounding to integer, rounding to a specified increment, rounding to simple fractions, and so on. And Microsoft Excel provides a handful of functions to handle different rounding types. Below, you will find a quick overview of the major round functions and well as formula examples that demonstrate how to use those functions on the real-life data in your worksheets.
Excel rounding by changing the cell format
If you want to round numbers solely for presentations purposes, then you can just change the number of displayed decimal places without changing the underlying value. The fastest way is to use the Increase Decimal or Decrease Decimal command on the Home tab in the Number group:
Or you can change the cell's format by performing these steps:
- Select the cell with the number(s) you want to round.
- Open the Format Cells dialog by pressing Ctrl + 1 or right click the cell(s) and choose Format Cells... from the context menu.
- In the Format Cells window, switch to either Number or Currency tab, and type the number of decimal places you want to display in the Decimal places box. A preview of the rounded number will immediately show up under Sample.
- Click the OK button to save the changes and close the Format Cells dialog.
Important note! This method changes the display format without changing the actual value stored in a cell. If you refer to that cell in any formulas, the original non-round value will be used in all calculations.
Excel functions to round numbers
Unlike formatting options that change only the display value, Excel round functions alter the actual value in a cell.
Below you will find a list of functions specially designed for performing different types of rounding in Excel.
- ROUND - round the number to the specified number of digits.
- ROUNDUP - round the number upward to the specified number of digits.
- ROUNDDOWN - round the number downward to the specified number of digits.
- MROUND - rounds the number upward or downward to the specified multiple.
- FLOOR - round the number down to the specified multiple.
- CEILING - round the number up to the specified multiple.
- INT - round the number down to the nearest integer.
- TRUNC - truncate the number to a specified number of decimal places.
- EVEN - round the number up to the nearest even integer.
- ODD - round the number up to the nearest odd integer.
Excel ROUND function
ROUND is the major rounding function in Excel that rounds a numeric value to a specified number of digits.
Syntax: ROUND(number, num_digits)
Number - any real number you want to round. This can be a number, reference to a cell containing the number or a formula-driven value.
Num_digits - the number of digits to round the number to. You can supply a positive or negative value in this argument:
- If num_digits is greater than 0, the number is rounded to the specified number of decimal places.
For example
=ROUND(15.55,1)rounds 15.55 to 15.6. - If num_digits is less than 0, all decimal places are removed and the number is rounded to the left of the decimal point (to the nearest ten, hundred, thousand, etc.).
For example
=ROUND(15.55,-1)rounds 15.55 to the nearest 10 and returns 20 as the result. - If num_digits equals 0, the number is rounded to the nearest integer (no decimal places).
For example
=ROUND(15.55,0)rounds 15.55 to 16.
The Excel ROUND function follows the general math rules for rounding, where the number to the right of the rounding digit determines whether the number is rounded upwards or downwards.
Rounding digit is the last significant digit retained once the number is rounded, and it gets changed depending on whether the digit that follows it is greater or less than 5:
- If the digit to the right of the rounding digit is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, the rounding digit is not changed, and the number is said to be rounded down.
- If the rounding digit is followed by 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, the rounding digit is increased by one, and the number is rounded up.
The following screenshot demonstrates a few ROUND formula examples:
Excel ROUNDUP function
The ROUNDUP function rounds the number upward (away from 0) to a specified number of digits.
Syntax: ROUNDUP(number, num_digits)
Number - the number to be rounded up.
Num_digits - the number of digits you want to round the number to. You can supply both positive and negative numbers in this argument, and it works like num_digits of the ROUND function discussed above, except that a number is always rounded upward.
Excel ROUNDDOWN function
The ROUNDDOWN function in Excel does the opposite of what ROUNDUP does, i.e. rounds a number down, toward zero.
Syntax: ROUNDDOWN(number, num_digits)
Number - the number to be rounded down.
Num_digits - the number of digits you want to round the number to. It works like the num_digits argument of the ROUND function, except that a number is always rounded downward.
The following screenshot demonstrates the ROUNDDOWN function in action.
Excel MROUND function
The MROUND function in Excel rounds a given number up or down to the specified multiple.
Syntax: MROUND(number, multiple)
Number - the value you want to round.
Multiple - the multiple to which you want to round the number.
For example, the below formula rounds 7 to the nearest multiple of 2 and returns 8 as the result:
=MROUND(7, 2)
Whether the last remaining digit is rounded up (away from 0) or down (towards 0) depends on the remainder from dividing the number argument by the multiple argument:
- If the remainder is equal to or greater than half the value of the multiple argument, Excel MROUND rounds the last digit up.
- If the remainder is less than half the value of the multiple argument, the last digit is rounded down.
The MROUND function comes in handy, say, for rounding prices to the nearest nickel (5 cents) or a dime (10 cents) to avoid dealing with pennies as change.
And, it is really indispensable when it comes to rounding times to a desired interval. For example, to round time to the nearest 5 or 10 minutes, just supply "0:05" or "0:10" for the multiple, like this:
=MROUND(A2,"0:05") or =MROUND(A2,"0:10")
Note. The MROUND function returns the #NUM! error when its arguments have different signs. For example, both of the formulas =MROUND(3, -2) and =MROUND(-5, 2) result in the NUM error.
Excel FLOOR function
The FLOOR function in Excel is used to round a given number down, to the nearest multiple of a specified significance.
Syntax: FLOOR(number, significance)
Number - the number you want to round.
Significance - the multiple to which you wish to round the number.
For example, =FLOOR(2.5, 2) rounds 2.5 down to the nearest multiple of 2, which is 2.
The Excel FLOOR function performs rounding based on the following rules:
- If the number and significance arguments are positive, the number is rounded down, toward zero, as in rows 2 and 10 in the screenshot below.
- If number is positive and significance is negative, the FLOOR function returns the #NUM error, as in row 4.
- If number is negative and significance is positive, the value is rounded down, away from zero, as in row 6.
- If number and significance are negative, the number is rounded up, toward zero, as in row 8.
- If number is an exact multiple of the significance argument, no rounding takes place.
Note. In Excel 2003 & 2007, the number and significance arguments must have the same sign, either positive or negative, otherwise an error is returned. In newer Excel versions, the FLOOR function has been improved, so in Excel 2010, 2013 and 2016 it can handle a negative number and positive significance.
Excel CEILING function
The CEILING function in Excel rounds a given number up, to the nearest multiple of significance. It has the same syntax as the FLOOR function.
Syntax: CEILING(number, significance)
Number - the number you want to round.
Significance - the multiple to which you want to round the number.
For instance, the formula =CEILING(2.5, 2) rounds 2.5 up to the nearest multiple of 2, which is 4.
The Excel CEILING function works based on the rounding rules similar to FLOOR's, except that it generally rounds up, away from 0.
- If both the number and significance arguments are positive, the number is rounded up, as in rows 2 and 10 in the screenshot below.
- If number is positive and significance is negative, the CEILING function returns the #NUM error, as in row 4.
- If number is negative and significance is positive, the value is rounded up, towards zero, as in row 6.
- If number and significance are negative, the value is rounded down, as in row 8.
Excel INT function
The INT function rounds a number down to the nearest integer.
Of all Excel round functions, INT is probably the easiest one to use, because it requires only one argument.
Syntax: INT(number)
Number - the number you want to round down to the nearest integer.
Positive numbers are rounded toward 0 while negative numbers are rounded away from 0. For example, =INT(1.5) returns 1 and =INT(-1.5) returns -2.
Excel TRUNC function
The TRUNC function truncates a given numeric value to a specified number of decimal places.
Syntax: TRUNC(number, [num_digits])
- Number - any real number that you want to truncate.
- Num_digits - an optional argument that defines the precision of the truncation, i.e. the number of decimal places to truncate the number to. If omitted, the number is truncated to an integer (zero decimal places).
The Excel TRUNC function adheres to the following rounding rules:
- If num_digits is positive, the number is truncated to the specified number of digits to the right of the decimal point.
- If num_digits is negative, the number is truncated to the specified number of digits to the left of the decimal point.
- If num_digits is 0 or omitted, it rounds the number to an integer. In this case, the TRUNC function works similarly to INT in that both return integers. However, TRUNC simply removes the factional part, while INT rounds a number down to the nearest integer.For example,
=TRUNC(-2.4)returns -2, while=INT(-2.4)returns -3 because it's the lower integer. For more info, please see Rounding to integer example.
The following screenshot demonstrates the TRUNC function in action:
Excel ODD and EVEN functions
These are two more functions provided by Excel for rounding a specified number to an integer.
ODD(number) rounds up to the nearest odd integer.
EVEN(number) rounds up to the nearest even integer.
- In both functions, number is any real number that you want to round.
- If number is non-numeric, the functions return the #VALUE! error.
- If number is negative, it is rounded away from zero.
The ODD and EVEN functions may prove useful when you are processing items that come in pairs.
For example:
=ODD(2.4) returns 3
=ODD(-2.4) returns -3
=EVEN(2.4) returns 4
=EVEN(-2.4) returns -4
Using rounding formulas in Excel
As you see, there exist a variety of functions to round off numbers in Excel depending on the particular purpose. The following examples will hopefully give you some clues on how to use Excel rounding formulas based on your criteria.
How to round decimals in Excel to a certain number of places
Depending on the situation, you may want to round decimals up, down or based on math rounding rules:
ROUNDUP function - always rounds the decimal upward.
ROUNDDOWN function - always rounds the decimal downward.
ROUND - rounds up if the rounding digit is followed by the digit equal to or greater than 5, otherwise rounds down.
As an example, lets round the decimal numbers in column A to 2 decimal places. In the first argument (number), you enter a reference to the cell containing the number, and in the second argument (num_digits) you specify the number of decimal places you want to keep.
=ROUNDUP(A2, 2) - rounds the number in A2 upward, to two decimal places.
=ROUNDDOWN(A2, 2) - rounds the number in A2 downward, to two decimal places.
=ROUND(A2, 2) - rounds the number in A2 to 2 decimal places, upward or downward, depending on whether the 3rd decimal digit is greater or less than 5.
Rounding negative numbers (ROUND, ROUNDDOWN, ROUNDUP)
When it comes to rounding a negative number, the results returned by the Excel round functions, may seem to flout logic :)
When the ROUNDUP function applies to negative numbers, they are said to be rounded up, even though they actually decrease in value. For example, the result of =ROUNDUP(-0.5, 0) is -1, as in row 7 in the screenshot below.
The ROUNDDOWN function is known to round numbers downward, though negative numbers may increase in value. For example, the formula =ROUNDDOWN(-0.5, 0) returns 0, as in row 8 in the screenshot below.
In fact, the rounding logic with regard to negative numbers is very simple. Whenever you use the ROUND, ROUNDDOWN or ROUNDUP function in Excel on a negative number, that number is first converted to its absolute value (without the minus sign), then the rounding operation occurs, and then the negative sign is re-applied to the result.
How to extract a decimal part of a number
If you want to extract a fractional part of a decimal number, you can use the TRUNC function to truncate the decimal places and then subtract that integer from the original decimal number.
=A2 - TRUNC(A2,0)
As demonstrated in the screenshot below, the formula in column B works perfectly both for positive and negative numbers. However, if you'd rather get an absolute value (decimal part without the minus sign), then wrap the formula in the ABS function:
=ABS(A2 - TRUNC(A2,0))
How to round a decimal to an integer in Excel
As is the case with rounding to a certain number of decimal places, there is a handful of functions for rounding a fractional number to an integer.
ROUNDUP
To round up to nearest integer, use an Excel ROUNDUP formula with num_digits set to 0. For example =ROUNDUP(5.5, 0) rounds decimal 5.5 to 6.
INT or ROUNDDOW
To round down to nearest whole number, use either INT or ROUNDDOW with num_digits set to 0. For example both of the following formulas round 5.5 to 5:
=ROUNDOWN(5.5, 0)
=INT(5.5)
For negative decimals, however, the INT and ROUNDDOWN functions yield different results - INT rounds negative decimals away from 0, while ROUNDDOWN toward 0:
=ROUNDOWN(-5.5, 0) returns -5.
=INT(-5.5) returns -6.
TRUNC
To remove the factional part without changing the integer part, use the TRUNC formula with the second argument (num_digits) omitted or set to 0. For example, =TRUNC(5.5) truncates the decimal part (.5) and returns the integer part (5).
ODD or EVEN
To round a decimal up to the nearest odd integer, use the ODD function:
=ODD(5.5) returns 7.
To round a decimal up to the nearest even integer, use the EVEN function:
=EVEN(5.5) returns 6.
Round to nearest 0.5
Microsoft Excel provides 3 functions that let you round numbers to nearest half, more precisely to the nearest multiple of 0.5. Which one to use depends on your rounding criteria.
- To round a number down to nearest 0.5, use the FLOOR function, for example
=FLOOR(A2, 0.5). - To round a number up to nearest 0.5, use the CEILING function, for example
=CEILING(A2, 0.5). - To round a number up or down to nearest 0.5, use the MROUND function, e.g.
=MROUND(A2, 0.5). Whether MROUND rounds the number up or down depends on the remainder from dividing the number by multiple. If the remainder is equal to or greater than half the value of multiple, the number is rounded upward, otherwise downward.
As you see, the MROUND function can be used for rounding positive values only, when applied to negative numbers, it returns the #NUM error.
Round to nearest 5 / 10 / 100 / 1000
Rounding to nearest five, ten, hundred or thousand is done in the same manner as rounding to 0.5 discussed in the previous example.
Round to nearest 5
Supposing that the number you want to round to closest 5 resides in cell A2, you can use on of the following formulas:
- To round a number down to nearest 5:
=FLOOR(A2, 5) - To round a number up to nearest 5:
=CEILING(A2, 5) - To round a number up or down to nearest 5:
=MROUND(A2, 5)
Round to nearest 10
To round your numbers to nearest ten, supply 10 in the second argument of the rounding functions:
- To round a number down to nearest 10:
=FLOOR(A2, 10) - To round a number up to nearest 10:
=CEILING(A2, 10) - To round a number up or down to nearest 10:
=MROUND(A2, 10)
Round to nearest 100
Rounding to a hundred is done in the same way, except that you enter 100 in the second argument:
- To round a number down to nearest 100:
=FLOOR(A2, 100) - To round a number up to nearest 100:
=CEILING(A2, 100) - To round a number up or down to nearest 100
=MROUND(A2, 100)
Round to nearest 1000
To round a value in cell A2 to the nearest thousand, use of the following formulas:
- To round a number down to nearest 1000:
=FLOOR(A2, 1000) - To round a number up to nearest 1000:
=CEILING(A2, 1000) - To round a number up or down to nearest 1000
=MROUND(A2, 1000)
The same techniques can be used for rounding numbers to other multiples. For example, you can round the prices to the nearest nickel (multiple of 0.05), lengths to the nearest inch (multiple of 1/12), or minutes to the nearest second (multiple of 1/60). Speaking of time, and do you know how to convert it to nearest hour or closest 5 or 10 minutes? If you don't, you will find the answers in the next section :)
Rounding time in Excel
There may be many situations when you need to round time values. And again, you can use different rounding functions depending on your purpose.
Example 1. How to round time to nearest hour in Excel
With times located in column A, you can use one of the following functions to round time to nearest hour:
- To round time to closest hour (up or down) - MROUND or ROUND.
=MROUND(A1,"1:00")=MROUND(A1, TIME(1,0,0))=ROUND(A1*24,0)/24 - To round up time to nearest hour - ROUNDUP or CEILING.
=CEILING(A1, "1:00")=CEILING(A1, TIME(1,0,0))=ROUNDUP(A1*24,0)/24 - To round down time to nearest hour - ROUNDDOWN or FLOOR.
=FLOOR(A1, "1:00")=FLOOR(A1, TIME(1,0,0))=ROUNDDOWN(A1*24,0)/24
In the ROUND, ROUNDUP and ROUNDDOWN formulas, you multiply the time value by 24 (number of hours in a day) to convert a serial number representing the time to hours. Then you use one of the rounding functions to round the decimal value to an integer, and then divide it by 24 to change the returned value back to the time format.
If your timestamps include date values, then use the INT or TRUNC function to extract dates (in the internal Excel system, dates and times are stored as serial numbers, the integer part representing a date and fractional part representing time). And then, use the formulas described above but subtract the date value. For example:
=MROUND(A1,"1:00") - INT(A1)
=MROUND(A1,"1:00") - TRUNC(A1)
The following screenshot demonstrates other formulas:
Note. For the results to display correctly, remember to apply the Time format to your cells.
Example 2. Rounding time to nearest 5, 10, 15, etc. minutes
In case you want to round times in your Excel sheet to five or ten minutes, or to the closest quarter-hour, you can use the same rounding techniques as demonstrated above, but replace "1 hour" with the desired number of minutes in the formulas.
For example, to round the time in A1 to the closest 10 minutes, use one of the following functions:
- To round time to closest 10 minutes (up or down):
=MROUND(A1,"0:10")=MROUND(A1, TIME(0,10,0)) - To round up time to nearest 10 min:
=CEILING(A1, "0:10")=CEILING(A1, TIME(0,10,0)) - To round down time to nearest 10 min:
=FLOOR(A1, "0:10")=FLOOR(A1, TIME(0,10,0))
If you know (or can calculate) what portion of a day is constituted by a certain number of minutes, then you won't have problems using the ROUND, ROUNDUP and ROUNDOWN functions as well.
For example, knowing that 15 minutes, is 1/96th of a day, you can use one of the following formulas to round the time in A1 to the nearest quarter-hour.
- To round time to closest 15 minutes (up or down):
=ROUND(A1*96,0)/96 - To round up time to nearest 15 min:
=ROUNDUP(A1*96,0)/96 - To round down time to nearest 15 min:
=ROUNDDOWN(A1*96,0)/96
This is how you perform rounding in Excel. Hopefully, now you know how, among all those round functions, chose the one best suited for your needs.

Hi, is there a way to round 1,521,387.99 to 152.14 (unit is 10k)? Thanks in advance
Hi!
Rounding cannot change the value of a number and make it 10,000 times smaller. Use division.
hi
2.01 to 2.49 to be 2.5
2.51 to 2.99 to be 3
Hi!
Read the paragraph carefully - Round to nearest 0.5
No, she (he?)'s trying to round UP to nearest .5.
srinivas, you're looking for
=CEILING(A1,0.5)
Can we use ABS & ROUND functions together in one cell ?
I have few negative numbers with decimals in my data, I want to change it to positive number with no decimals. Could you please help with it
Hello!
If I understand your task correctly, the following formula should work for you:
=ROUND(ABS(A1),0)
Hope this is what you need.
Hi
How do i set up a formula to round to the nearest nth multiple depending on the value thats in the cell?
I work a lot of changing cashflows and I need them to round depending on the value in the cell. e.g how to round 526 449.80 to the nearest thousand multiple, or how to round 6 143 651.73 to the nearest whole number, if the significance of the ceiling and floor formulas is variable, how do I automate that?
Regards
Hello!
I can suggest using the ROUND function in a nested IF function. Depending on the value of the number, use a different rounding.
Hey, what formula can I use for this:
I want to round every number to the nearest "9". For example: 173 --> 169 & 176 --> 179
How can I do this?
Hi!
The formula below will do the trick for you:
=ROUND(A2,-1)-1
Hi how to roundup 7.4 to 8 and round down to 7. Instead of default .5 Thanks
Hi!
Have you tried the ways described in this blog post? If ROUNDUP and ROUNDDOWN functions don’t work for you, then please describe your task in detail.
I have something like this: ="Avg $: "&(SUM(B7:G7))/(SUM(B9:G9))
How would I round this to the nearest penny?
Hi!
Have you tried the ways described in this blog post? Use ROUND function
=”Avg $: “&ROUND((SUM(B7:G7))/(SUM(B9:G9)),2)
Hi..!
Hello! Is it possible to round off 3rd decimal place?
(1,2,8,9 =0) (3,4,6,7=5)
Last digit need 0 or 5
Eg:1.224 = 1.225
1.222=1.220
1.228=1.230
1.227=1.225
Hi,
try the following formula:
=FLOOR(A1+0.002,0.005)
Yes, it's working..!!!
Thank you ?
My percentages aren't adding up correctly.
Cell and values used
H1=1019
H2=566
H3=271
H4=123
this is what I used to get the % and the cells I used
=H2/H1 I get 55.54% then I decrease the decimal place to get 56% in cell I2
=H3/H1 I get 26.59% then I decrease the decimal place to get 27% in cell I3
=H4/H1 I get 12.07% then I decrease the decimal place to get 12% in cell I4
This is what I can't get correct
in the cell, I10 I but this in =I2+I3+I4 and I should get 95% but I keep getting 94%
It's adding up the 55.54+26.59+12.07 and I get 94.21 but I need 56+27+12 to get 95%
Why is it reading the decimal instead of reading the rounded %
Thanks
Hello!
If you change the format of a number, then that number does not change. Use rounding functions to round a number. Then the calculation result will correspond to what you see in the table.
I need to find a calculation that will allow me to round exponents down at each step of multiplication.
Example. We start with 180 and multiply by 1.2 = 216. It is already a whole number, so no problem.
180*1.2*1.2 = 259.2 (Should round to 259, not too hard if using the round down feature)
but if the person was to select that they want 5 { 180*1.2^5 }, this equals 447.8976 (round down would be 447) BUT if we were to take it in sequence AND round down at each step, it would only be 446.4 (446)
Any ideas on where to start?
Hi!
If I understand your task correctly, the following formula should work for you:
=ROUNDDOWN(ROUNDDOWN(ROUNDDOWN(ROUNDDOWN(ROUNDDOWN(180*1.2,0)*1.2,0)*1.2,0)*1.2,0)*1.2,0)
I really appreciate the above answer, worst comes to worst, I might just make a table.
The complication is that the person might select 2 or 4 or 5 or 8 or any number in between really.
The situation is having to increase the number by 20% incrementally, while rounding down at each step.
Hi!
Write down the calculations in the table and choose the desired value from it depending on the number.
Hi, Is there anyway to round where 0.005 rounds down, and 0.006 rounds up?
Usually 0.005 rounds up, but for my specific calculation i need it to go down.
Hello!
I believe the following formula will help you solve your task:
=IF(AND(ISEVEN(A1*10^0),ROUND(MOD(A1*10^0,1),3)<=0.005),ROUNDDOWN(A1,2),ROUND(A1,2))
1.8 * 2.33 * 1.25 = 5.2425
2.0 * 2.33 * 1.25 = 5.8250
1.0 * 2.33 * 1.25 = 2.9125
I need to round
5.2425 ..... 5.00 (0.00 to 0.49)
5.8250 ..... 5.50 (0.50 to 0.89)
2.9125 ..... 3.00 (0.90 to 0.99)
Please Help me
Hello!
If I understand your task correctly, the following formula should work for you:
=INT(A1)+IF(A1-INT(A1)<0.5,0,IF(A1-INT(A1)<0.9,0.5,1))
I have a PRODUCT function that I want to result in an EVEN three decimal place number. I start with
=PRODUCT(A3,2,0.001)*100
which results in 0.741, which is correct, but I want it to automatically round up to the next even third decimal = 0.742.
I've tried ROUND and EVEN, but not sure how to format in the function formula. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
I should also mention that I want to apply this to a column of results, and want to keep the numbers that are already even as such. Thanks again!
Hi!
Use the PRODUCT function as an argument to the ROUND function:
=ROUND(PRODUCT(A3,2,0.001)*100,3)
I hope it’ll be helpful.
Thank you for the help, Alexander. Unfortunately, that still returns the result 0.741. I also tried using ROUNDUP, and got the same result.
Hi!
What number does the function return? Write it in full. After 0.741 there are more numbers. Are you sure 0.742 is the correct result?
Hi,
Can somebody help me regarding this excel problem. If adding or multiplying numbers, I still want the result not to fall the minimum result number. The minimum result number should be 100.
Example:
10,275 x .005 = 100 (I know it should be 51.38 but I want the result to fill automatically 100)
Please help me, I need it ASAP.
Thank you!
Hi!
Use IF function for values less than 100:
=IF(A1*B1<100,100,A1*B1)
Hi Mr. Alex,
Thank you for the answer, but is there any way that I can still use the same formula both less than or higher than 100 result?
Ex:
(A1=Any numbers) x (B1=0.005) = result 100 & up (decimal numbers should be round up to peso)
1. (A1=10,275) x (B1=0.005) = 100 (Result not falls below 100)
2. (A1=75,420) x (B1=0.005) = 378
Pls help me find out what's the only ONE FORMULA should be using.
Thank you!
Hi!
The formula works for your examples 1 and 2. What is the problem? I do not understand your question.
Hi Mr. Alex,
Thank you for the response! The formula you gave only works for the value less than 100 only. What about my example 2 ,the result shows like this #VALUE!.
To make things clear, let me refrain my examples.
FORMULA:
(Value) x (0.005) = RESULT
(NOTE: minimum result is 100 & up and the decimal numbers should always automatically be round up to a whole number)
Ex:
(Value) x (0.005) = RESULT
Actual result Result should be
1. If I change the value to 10,275 x 0.005 = 51.38 100 (minimum result)
2. If I change the value to 75,420 x 0.005 = 377.10 378 (decimals round up)
My question, is there any way that we can use ONLY ONE FORMULA that works both examples 1 & 2? I use this formula =ROUNDUP(value*0.005,0) but it works example 2 only hahaha. Hope you can help me.
Thank you in advance! ♥♥
Hi!
The formula returns an error if your cell contains text instead of a number. Check your details. For numbers, the formula works correctly. You wrote about rounding for the first time.
=IF(A1*B1<100,100,ROUNDUP(A1*B1,0))
I hope you fully described the problem and received an answer to it.
OMG finally it wooorks! Thank you so much for your big help. ♥
OMG, im so sorry there is a problem again and I hope you still help me. Can please solve the problem 3 below using the same formula you gave.
=IF(A1*B1<100,100,ROUNDUP(A1*B1,0))
Ex: (VALUE) x (0.005) = RESULT
1. If I change the VALUE to 10,275 x 0.005 = 100
2. If I change the VALUE to 75,420 x 0.005 = 378
3. If I change the VALUE to 0 x 0.005 = 0
Thank you..
Hi!
My formula works correctly and returns 100.
3. If I change the VALUE to 0 x 0.005 = 100
Check your data.
Hi Alex!
Thank you for the response. The formula you gave works correctly but is there any way that the problem 3 results will be Zero (0) using the same formula?
=IF(A1*B1<100,100,ROUNDUP(A1*B1,0))
Ex: (VALUE) x (0.005) = RESULT
1. If I change the VALUE to 10,275 x 0.005 = 100
2. If I change the VALUE to 75,420 x 0.005 = 378
3. If I change the VALUE to 0 x 0.005 = 0
Pls help. Thank you.
Hi!
If you would have written all the conditions at once, you would have saved my time and yours.
I recommend reading this guide: Nested IF in Excel – formula with multiple conditions
Add another IF function to the formula.
=IF(A1=0,0,IF(A1*B1<100,100,ROUNDUP(A1*B1,0)))
Thank you so much for your help. God bless you! ♥♥♥
Hi
I need in excel after decimal 0.01 to 0.09 it round off "0"
& 0.1 to 0.5 = 0.5
& 0.6 to 0.9=1
Ex:
CM FT I NEED
92 3.018 3
93 3.051 3
94 3.083 3
EX:2
CM FT I NEED
95 3.11 3.5
96 3.14 3.5
97 3.18 3.5
CM FT I NEED
107 3.510 3.5
108 3.543 3.5
109 3.576 3.5
EX:3
CM FT I NEED
110 3.61 4
111 3.64 4
112 3.67 4
Please help on this one.
If the value is exactly ##.50 I need to round to the nearest even number.
10.49=10
10.50=10
10.51=11
11.49=11
11.50=12
11.51=12
this is scientific rounding rules how can this be accomplished
Hi!
Your terms are not clear. Why 10.50 is 10 and 11.50 is 12 ??
This is known as the odd/even rounding rule. It is standard weight rounding laid out by the US Department of Commerce in NIST Handbook 44 section 10.2
"(d) When the figure next beyond the last figure to be retained is 5 and there are no figures, or only zeros, beyond
this 5, the figure in the last place to be retained is to be left unchanged if it is even (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8) and is to
be increased by 1 if it is odd (1, 3, 5, 7, or 9). This is the odd and even rule, and may be stated as follows:
“If odd, then add.” Thus, rounding off to the first decimal place, 47.25 would become 47.2 and 47.15 would
become 47.2. Also, rounded to the nearest thousand, 4500 would become 4000 and 1500 would
become 2000."
Please try the following formula:
=IF(A1-INT(A1)=0.5,INT(A1)+MOD(INT(A1),2),ROUND(A1,0))
Nice, thanks Alexander. The thing I'm struggling with is having it round at the hundredth (0.01) position like this when I have the weight at a thousandth. Your formula clearly solves the question raised by R Knight, but how would I modify it for my scenario? I am struggling getting the decimal rounded.
Hello!
Try multiplying the original number by 100 and then dividing the result by 100. If this is not what you need, write examples of rounding so that I can understand you better.
=IF(A1*100-INT(A1*100)=0.5,INT(A1*100)+MOD(INT(A1*100),2),ROUND(A1*100,0))/100
I actually played around a bit and found a simple formula to use that works perfectly:
=IF(ISEVEN(A1*100),ROUNDDOWN(A1,2),ROUNDUP(A1,2))
Sorry, I truncated the formula and left off the beginning... Silly Me :) It should read...
=IF(B2*100-INT(B2*100)=0.5,IF(ISEVEN(B2*100),ROUNDDOWN(B2,2),ROUNDUP(B2,2)),ROUND(B2,2))
So I have come to the conclusion i need to use the standard ROUND programming here. I am pulling a dollar amount from a different page in the program and can not seem to figure out where ROUND would go. Current text ='Estimate Sheet'!G47. I have tried =ROUND('Estimate Sheet'!G47) and it will not allow it.
Hello!
If I understand correctly, in the ROUND function you use the text in which the cell address is written.
You can use this formula:
=ROUND(INDIRECT("Sheet1!C1"),0)
or
=ROUND(INDIRECT(A1),0)
A1 contains "Sheet1!C1".
If this is not what you wanted, please describe the problem in more detail.
Hello,
Im trying to round firgures but im not able to remove the currency symbol.
e.g:£4,560.06.
Please help
Hello!
Change the cell format as described in this tutorial.
Hi, Thank you for a very helpful tutorial! I did look but don't seem to see an already answered question to my problem.
I found the right round up formula for me which is to round up to a closest 5 or 10 you provided =ROUND(C1,-1).
But the cell I need to apply it to is pulling a value from another sheet :
='UK £ Trade '!B2*1.5
so I can't seem to make it work the two together.
Would really appreciate your help on this.
Thank you.
Hi!
If I understand your task correctly, enclose the second formula inside the first formula.
=ROUND('UK £ Trade '!B2*1.5,-1)
Please have a look at this paragraph — How to round to nearest 5/10/100/1000 etc.
Thank you! Much appreciated. Working perfectly now :)
Excellent article!
Please could you help with adding an IF statement to an MROUND formula? I wish to subtract £0.01 if it rounds to a whole number for retail prices. I have this to round to the nearest £0.10
=(MROUND(BQ4,0.1))
Thanks in advance!
Hello!
I’m sorry but your task is not entirely clear to me. Could you please describe it in more detail? What result do you want to get? Give an example of the source data and the expected result.
Thanks for the reply. I have various prices generated by a formula - for instance:
£2.23, £2.76, £3.09 and £3.97
=(MROUND(BQ4,0.1)) rounds my prices up to the nearest 10 pence so I now have:
£2.20, £2.80, £3.10 and £4
I wish to end up with:
£2.20, £2.80, £3.10 and £3.99
If the price = a multiple of one whole pound, deduct one pence. In this case changing the £4 to £3.99 but leaving the other values unchanged.
I would use this for all of your rounded prices:
=IF(MROUND(BQ4,0.1)=MROUND(BQ4,1),MROUND(BQ4,0.1)-0.01, MROUND(BQ4,0.1)
In words:
- Logical statement: Checks if the price rounded to the nearest 10 pence is the same as the price rounded to the nearest pound.
- If TRUE: Outputs the rounded number (Can be to the nearest 0.1 or 1. I chose 10p but both are the same for TRUE cases) and takes away 0.01 (or 1p).
- If FALSE: It leaves the number rounded to the nearest 10p with no further alterations.
Perfect! Thank you so much!
Hello!
If I got you right, the formula below will help you with your task:
=IF(INT(MROUND(B1,0.1))<>MROUND(B1,0.1),MROUND(B1,0.1),MROUND(B1,0.1)-0.01)
I hope this will help, otherwise please do not hesitate to contact me anytime.
Thanks, much appreciated!
