Function name:
ROUNDUP
Category:
Mathematical
Summary:
Rounds a number away from zero to the next multiple of a specified power of 10.
Syntax:
ROUNDUP(Number[; Count])
Returns:
Returns a real value which is the specified number rounded (away from zero) to the required precision.
Arguments:
Number is a real number, or a reference to a cell containing that number, that is to be rounded.
Count is an integer, or a reference to a cell containing that integer, that is used to specify the precision of the rounding. If Count is omitted, a default value of 0 is assumed. The value of Count is utilized as follows:
- If Count is a positive integer, then rounding is to the right of the decimal separator. For example, if Count is equal to 1 then numbers are rounded (away from 0) to the next multiple of [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{1}{10}\text{th} }[/math]; if Count is equal to 2 then numbers are rounded (away from zero) to the next multiple of [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{1}{100}\text{th} }[/math]; and so on.
- If Count is equal to zero, then rounding is to the next integer away from 0.
- If Count is a negative integer, then rounding is to the left of the decimal separator. For example, if Count is equal to -1 then numbers are rounded (away from 0) to the next multiple of 10; if Count is equal to -2 then numbers are rounded (away from 0) to the next multiple of 100; and so on. The value returned by ROUNDUP will always be an integer when Count is negative.
The following conditions (including errors) may be encountered:
- If either Number or Count is non-numeric, then ROUNDUP reports a #VALUE! error.
- If Count is a non-integer value, then it is rounded to the next integer in the direction of 0.
Additional details:
- If you obtain unexpected results from ROUNDUP, check the following:
- Make sure that the number of displayed decimal places is not affected by the setting of the Limit decimals for general number format option in the General Calculations area of the ▸ ▸ ▸ dialog ( ▸ ▸ ▸ on macOS).
- Access the tab on the Format Cells dialog ( ▸ or equivalent interaction) to make sure that relevant cells do not have formatting applied that affects the number of displayed decimal places.
Examples:
| Formula | Description | Returns |
|---|---|---|
| =ROUNDUP(2.348; 2) | Here the function rounds 2.348 away from 0, to 2 decimal places. | 2.35 |
| =ROUNDUP(D1; D2) where cells D1 and D2 contain the numbers -32.4834 and 3.2 respectively. | The value of the Count argument is truncated to 3. Here the function rounds -32.4834 away from 0, to 3 decimal places. | −32.484 |
| =ROUNDUP(2.648; 0) | Here the function rounds 2.648 away from 0, to the next integer. The alternative formula =ROUNDUP(2.648) returns the same value. |
3 |
| =ROUNDUP(−45.67) | Here the function rounds -45.67 away from 0, to the next integer. | −46 |
| =ROUNDUP(887.65; −2) | Here the function rounds 887.65 away from 0, to the next hundred. | 900 |
