number |
A real number that you want to round up. |
num_digits |
The number of digits to which you want to round. A negative value for num_digits rounds to the left of the decimal point; if num_digits is zero or is omitted, number is rounded to the nearest integer. |
Return value
A decimal number.
Remarks
If
num_digits
is greater than 0 (zero), then the number is rounded up to the specified number of decimal places.If
num_digits
is 0, then number is rounded up to the nearest integer.If
num_digits
is less than 0, then number is rounded up to the left of the decimal point.ROUNDUP behaves like ROUND, except that it always rounds a number up.

The following formula rounds Pi to four decimal places. The expected result is 3.1416.
= ROUNDUP(PI(),4)
Example: Decimals as Second Argument
The following formula rounds 1.3 to the nearest multiple of 0.2. The expected result is 2.
= ROUNDUP(1.3,0.2)
Example: Negative Number as Second Argument
The following formula rounds the value in the column, FreightCost, with the expected results shown in the following table:
= ROUNDUP([Values],-1)
When num_digits
is less than zero, the number of places to the left of the decimal sign is increased by the value you specify.
FreightCost | Expected Result |
---|---|
13.25 | 20 |
2.45 | 10 |
25.56 | 30 |
1.34 | 10 |
345.01 | 350 |
