When working with large numbers in Microsoft Excel, you may sometimes need to limit the number of decimal places that are displayed. This can be done by using the ROUND function. For example, if you have a number with 12 decimal places and you want to round it to two decimal places, you would use the following formula:
=ROUND(A1,2)
This would round the number in cell A1
to two decimal places. You can also use the ROUNDDOWN and ROUNDUP functions to round a number down or up to a certain number of decimal places. For example, if you wanted to round the number in cell A1
down to two decimal places, you would use the following formula:
=ROUNDDOWN(A1,2)
If you wanted to round the number in cell A1
up to two decimal places, you would use the following formula:
=ROUNDUP(A1,2)
Limiting Precision in Excel
=ROUND(A1,2)
=ROUNDDOWN(A1,2)
=ROUNDUP(A1,2)
