Syntax:

ROUNDUP(Number, n)

Description:

This rounds a Number up to n decimal places.

n is the desired number of decimal places.

If n is omitted, Number is rounded up to the nearest integer.

If n is a negative value, Number is rounded up to the left of the decimal point. For example, if n is -2, Number is rounded up to the nearest multiple of a hundred (see second last example).

Note:

Negative numbers are rounded down rather than rounded up (see last example). This is not mathematically correct, but it is implemented exactly as in Microsoft Excel for compatibility reasons.

Example:

ROUNDUP(1.234, 2) returns 1.24

ROUNDUP(1.235, 2) returns 1.24

ROUNDUP(444.222, 0) returns 445

ROUNDUP(444.222, -2) returns 500

ROUNDUP(-7.3, 0) returns -8
