Round and round

Often, numbers are easier to read if you limit how precisely they are written. For example, 75 is easier to read than 74.9729526456456.

ROUND() lets you round numbers to a specified number of decimal places.

• ROUND(A1) rounds the number in cell A1 to the nearest whole number.
• ROUND(A1, 3) rounds it to three decimal places - or, in other words, to the nearest thousandth.
• ROUND(A1, -3) rounds it to the nearest thousand.
