The CEILING.PRECISE function rounds a number up to the nearest integer or multiple of specified significance. If the number is positive or negative, it's rounded up.
Parts of a CEILING.PRECISE formula
CEILING.PRECISE(number, [significance])
| Part | Description | Notes |
number |
The value to round up to the nearest integer or multiple of significance. |
|
significance |
The number to whose multiples number will be rounded. The sign of significance will be ignored. |
[OPTIONAL: 1 by default] |
Sample formulas
CEILING.PRECISE(-10.5, 1)
CEILING.PRECISE(96, 10)
CEILING.PRECISE(-23.25, 0.1)
Notes
- By default, positive numbers with decimal places are rounded up to the nearest integer. For example, 4.3 is rounded up to 5.
- Negative numbers are rounded up (toward zero). For example, -4.3 is rounded up to -4.
