What is ROUND function in Excel?

ROUND function is one of the Math and Trig functions in Microsoft Excel that rounds a number to a specified number of digits. For example, if cell A1 contains 23.7825, and you want to round that value to two decimal places, you can use the following formula:

=ROUND(A1, 2)

  • number: The number that you want to round.

  • If num_digits is greater than 0 (zero), then number is rounded to the specified number of decimal places.
  • If num_digits is 0, the number is rounded to the nearest integer.
