FAQ
How do I round to the nearest 100 or 1000?
Use a negative number of digits: =ROUND(D3,-2) rounds to the nearest 100 and =ROUND(D3,-3) to the nearest 1000.
What is the difference between ROUND and number formatting?
Formatting only changes how the number looks; the full value is still used in calculations. ROUND changes the actual value.
