The ROUND function in Google Sheets is a powerful tool that enables you to round numbers to a specified number of decimal places. This can be useful when you are working with large amounts of data and need to display results in a more readable format.

Here are the steps to use the ROUND function in Google Sheets:

  1. Open the Google Sheets document that contains the data you want to work with.
  2. Select the cell where you want to apply the function.
  3. Enter the function formula in the cell, starting with an equal sign (=) followed by the function name (ROUND), and the cell reference or number you want to round.
  4. Include a comma (,) after the cell reference or number, and specify the number of decimal places you want to round to.
  5. Press Enter to apply the function and view the result.

For example, to round the value in cell A1 to 2 decimal places, enter the following formula in cell B1: =ROUND(A1, 2)

You can also use the ROUND function with negative numbers to round to the nearest 10, 100, or 1000. For example, to round the value in cell A1 to the nearest 100, enter the following formula in cell B1: =ROUND(A1, -2)
