Round to a Specific Decimal for Any Number in Excel

Author:

Round each number to a specific decimal number. This works for numbers that don't already have a decimal and ones that do have a decimal.

To do this, we will use the TRUNC() function in Excel.

=TRUNC(A1)+.49

A1 is the cell that has the number that we want to "round" and .49 is the decimal that we want the number to have.

In Excel it looks like this:

With this result:

This works on cells that already have a decimal and ones that don't.

The TRUNC() function simply removes any decimal part of the number and then you add whatever decimal you want.
