What is FLOOR function in Excel?

FLOOR function is one of the Math and Trig functions in Microsoft Excel that rounds number down, toward zero, to the nearest multiple of significance.

Syntax of FLOOR function

FLOOR(number, significance)

The FLOOR function syntax has the following arguments:

  • Number: The numeric value you want to round.
  • Significance: The multiple to which you want to round.

FLOOR formula explanation

  • If either argument is nonnumeric, FLOOR returns the #VALUE! error value.
  • If number is positive and significance is negative, FLOOR returns the #NUM! error value.
  • If the sign of number is positive, a value is rounded down and adjusted toward zero. If the sign of number is negative, a value is rounded down and adjusted away from zero. If number is an exact multiple of significance, no rounding occurs.
