Syntax

ROUNDDOWN(number,num_digits)

Number   is any real number that you want rounded down.

Num_digits   is the number of digits to which you want to round the number.

Remarks

  • ROUNDDOWN behaves like ROUND, except that it always rounds a number down.
  • If num_digits is greater than 0 (zero), then number is rounded down to the specified number of decimal places.
  • If num_digits is 0, then number is rounded down to the nearest integer.
  • If num_digits is less than 0, then number is rounded down to the left of the decimal point.

Example

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