ROUND Multiple Cells With ROUND Function
Suppose we have numbers with several decimal places in multiple cells in a range B2: B11 and we need to round these numbers to 2 number of digits to the right of decimal point. In this case, the ROUND function will round the numbers 1-4 down and 5-9 up at the second decimal point. We need to achieve this task in the following steps:
- Insert the ROUND formula =ROUND(B2,2) in the blank cell C2 and press Enter keyboard button. The numeric value of cell B2 will be rounded with two decimal places.
