Category: Number function

This function rounds a number to dec_places number of decimal digits.

Return value type: Number

There exist two types of rounding in general - "Rounding away from zero" (a.k.a symmetric rounding) and "Rounding to the nearest even number" (a.k.a. banker's rounding). This function is using the latter, as it's the standard way of rounding as described in IEEE Standard 754, section 4. For Excel-type rounding (away from zero) use RoundXL(number, dec_places) function.

Using a dec_places value of "0" rounds to the nearest whole number.

round(5.55, 1) = 5.6
round(5.65, 1) = 5.6
round(101.567, 2) = 101.57
round(101.5784, 3) = 101.578
round(92.523, 0) = 93
