ROUND Function


Function Type:

Math and Trigonometry


Description:

The ROUND function in Excel or Google Sheets is used to round a number to a specified number of digits (decimal places).

It is useful and frequently used combined with other functions.

I've personally used this function the other day for my freelance service to a client together with ROW and COLUMN functions since they both have to be whole numbers.


Function Structure:

=ROUND(number, num_digits)


Argument Breakdown:

number - The number that you want to round.

num_digits - The number of digits to which number should be rounded.


Example:

ROUND num_digits is greater than 0

If num_digits is greater than 0, then number is rounded to the specified number of decimal places.
Putting 3 on will result in rounding to 3 decimal places
