number of given Digits. If Digits is 0 or not given, the given
Number is rounded to the nearest whole integer. If Digits is
positive,thegivenNumberisroundedtothenearestnumberwith
that many decimal digits. Example: ROUND(1.235,1) = 1.2
ROUND(1.235,2)=1.24.IfDigitsisnegative,thegivenNumber
isroundedtothenearestnumberthatisamultipleof10^(Digits).
Example:ROUND(1235,1)=1240ROUND(1235,2)=1200.If
Digits>=0,thereturnedvaluewillbeaninteger,otherwiseitwill
be a double. Returns #VALUE! if the given Number is not a
number,orifthegivenDigits(whengiven)isnotaninteger.
Format:ROUNDDOWN(Number,[Digits=0])
Rounds the given Number down to the next number with the
number of given Digits, if the given Number does not already
satisfy this condition. Rounding down means closer to 0, so a
positive number rounded down will be less than or equal to the
given Number, and a negative number rounded down will be
greater than or equal to the given Number. If Digits is 0 or not
given, the given Number is rounded down to the next whole
integer.IfDigitsispositive,thegivenNumberisroundeddownto
the next number with that many decimal digits. Example:
ROUNDDOWN(1.235,1)=1.2ROUNDDOWN(1.235,2)=1.23.If
Digitsisnegative,thegivenNumberisroundeddowntothenext
number that is a multiple of 10^(Digits). Example:
ROUNDDOWN(1235, 1) = 1230 ROUNDDOWN(1235, 2) =
1200. If Digits >= 0, the returned value will be an integer,
otherwise it will be a double. Returns #VALUE! if the given
Numberisnotanumber,orifthegivenDigits(whengiven)isnot
aninteger.
Format:ROUNDUP(Number,[Digits=0])
Rounds the given Number up to the next number with the

number of given Digits, if the given Number does not already
satisfythiscondition.Roundingupmeansfartherawayfrom0,so
apositivenumberroundedupwillbegreaterthanorequaltothe

positive,thegivenNumberisroundeduptothenextnumberwith
that many decimal digits. Example: ROUNDUP(1.235,1) = 1.3
ROUNDUP(1.235,2) = 1.24. If Digits is negative, the given
Number is rounded up to the next number that is a multiple of
10^(Digits). Example: ROUNDUP(1235, 1) = 1240
ROUNDUP(1235, 2) = 1300. If Digits >= 0, the returned value

Format:ROW([Reference])

ReturnsthegivenValueasatextvalue.ThegivenFormattextis
used for formatting numeric values. It is optional and has no
effectonothervaluetypes.
To format a number with a specific number of decimal places,
useaformatsuchas".000"or".###".Foreach"0"followingthe
decimal point in the Format, that many decimal points will be
displayed,eveniftheyareinsignificant.Forexample:TEXT(0.05,
"0.000") will return "0.050". For each number sign (#) following
thedecimalpointintheFormat,thatmanydecimalpointswillbe
displayed, except for trailing zeros. For example: TEXT(0.05,
"0.###")willreturn"0.05".
Format:TEXT(Value,Format)
These two methods can be combined such that ".00##" will

format numbers with a minimum of two decimal digits and a
maximum of four decimal digits. Values will be rounded to the
maximumnumberofdecimaldigitsthatcanbeshown.
Zeros placed before the decimal point indicate to use leading
zeros for the whole number. For example: TEXT(2.5, "000.##")
willreturn"002.5".
Number signs (#) before the decimal point have no effect. The
decimal point in the Format text must match the global setting
that specifies the decimal point character. The decimal point
characterusedinthereturnedvaluewillmatchtheglobalsetting.
