ROUND, ROUNDUP and ROUNDDOWN

Round the stored value, not just the display, so totals match what people see, and round up, down or to the nearest hundred or thousand.

Beginner · 10 min · 10 steps

In this lesson

  • A number format only changes how a number looks.
  • ROUNDUP always goes up (cases, boxes, people needed).
  • Round where a number becomes a price or quantity someone sees, then calculate from the rounded value.
