Rounding numbers is a common requirement when working with Excel tables. Whether it's to simplify data or to fulfill a specific calculation, accurate rounding is critical. Traditionally, we have used Excel's own functions to accomplish this task, but these methods can require some formula knowledge and manipulation skills. Now, with the power of Excelmatic, you can round numbers in a simple, conversational way, without having to memorize complex function formulas.
Traditional methods
In the traditional method, Excel provides several commonly used functions to rounding operations:
ROUND function: This is the most common rounding function, the syntax for the
ROUND (number, num_digits), whichnumberis to be rounded up to the number ofnum_digitsis to specify the number of retained decimal places. For example,ROUND(3.14159, 2)would return 3.14.ROUNDUP function: This function always rounds up numbers, with the same syntax as the ROUND function. For example,
ROUNDUP(3.14159, 2)would return 3.15.ROUNDDOWN function: opposite of the ROUNDUP function, this function always rounds down. For example,
ROUNDDOWN(3.14159, 2)would return 3.14.
To use these functions, you need to enter the formula in the appropriate cell and drag it to apply it to the entire column of data. For users unfamiliar with Excel functions, this may take some time and practice to master.
