Syntax

FIXED(number,decimals,no_commas)

Number   is the number you want to round and convert to text.

Decimals   is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point.

No_commas   is a logical value that, if TRUE, prevents FIXED from including commas in the returned text.

Remarks

  • Numbers in a spreadsheet can never have more than 15 significant digits, but decimals can be as large as 127.
  • If decimals is negative, number is rounded to the left of the decimal point.
  • If you omit decimals, it is assumed to be 2.
  • If no_commas is FALSE or omitted, then the returned text includes commas as usual.

Example

The example may be easier to understand if you copy it to a blank spreadsheet.
