What is MROUND function in Excel?

MROUND function is one of the Math and Trig functions in Microsoft Excel that returns a number rounded to the desired multiple.

MROUND(number, multiple)

The MROUND function syntax has the following arguments:

  • Number: The value to round.
  • Multiple: The multiple to which you want to round number.

  • MROUND rounds up, away from zero, if the remainder of dividing number by multiple is greater than or equal to half the value of multiple.
  • The Number and Multiple arguments must have the same sign. If not, a #NUM error is returned.

=MROUND(-10, -3) Rounds -10 to the nearest multiple of -3. -9
=MROUND(1.3, 0.2) Rounds 1.3 to the nearest multiple of 0.2. 1.4
=MROUND(5, -2) Returns the #NUM! error message because -2 and 5 have different signs. #NUM!
