An Overview of ROUNDUP Function | Microsoft Excel
The ROUNDUP function is one of the math and trigonometry functions in Microsoft Excel. It can be used as a standalone function as well as in collaboration with the other functions. This article will give you an overview of the ROUNDUP function in Excel.
Objectives
The ROUNDUP function is used to round up a numerical value to a specific decimal place.
Syntax
=ROUNDUP(number, num_digits)Arguments
- number: It refers to the number to round up.
- num_digits: The total number of digits that you want after the decimal point.
Output
A rounded-up version of the input number.
Examples of ROUNDUP Function
Suppose, you have the number 65.543275 in cell A2. You can round up the number to any number using the ROUNDUP function. Suppose, you want to round up 65.543275 to 2 decimal places. For that, use the formula:
=ROUNDUP(A2,2)The output will be 65.55.
Here are some examples of the usage of the ROUNDUP function.
Usage Guide of ROUNDUP Function
Step_1: Start with inserting an equal sign (=) in a blank cell.
Step_2: Then type ROUNDUP.
Step_3: Type open parenthesis “(“.
As you type the open parenthesis, Excel shows the syntax of the ROUNDUP function.
Step_4: Insert a number to round up.
You can directly insert a number or a cell address that contains a number.
Step_5: Then insert a comma (,).
After inserting the comma, Excel will ask you for the second argument which is the number of digits.
Step_6: Now specify the number of digits that you want after the decimal point.
I want to round up the number to 2 decimal places. So, I have inserted 2 inside the function.
Final Result
The ROUNDUP function converts 65.553275 into 65.56. Because here, num_digits is 2 which allows only 2 decimal places after the decimal point.
