How do I round numbers in Excel?

Answer

Use the ROUND function: ROUND(number, decimals). For example, =ROUND(3.14159, 2) returns 3.14. For rounding up use ROUNDUP, for down use ROUNDDOWN.

Detailed explanation

Excel offers several rounding functions — pick the one that fits your needs.

ROUND — Standard Rounding

Rounds according to mathematical rules (5 and above rounds up):

=ROUND(3.14159, 2)

Result: 3.14

Other Options

  • ROUNDUP — always rounds up: =ROUNDUP(3.1, 0) → 4
  • ROUNDDOWN — always rounds down: =ROUNDDOWN(3.9, 0) → 3
  • INT — drops the decimal part: =INT(3.7) → 3
  • TRUNC — truncates to specified decimals: =TRUNC(3.14159, 2) → 3.14

Rounding to Tens, Hundreds

Use negative decimal places:

  • =ROUND(1234, -1) → 1230 (to tens)
  • =ROUND(1234, -2) → 1200 (to hundreds)
  • =ROUND(1234, -3) → 1000 (to thousands)
