The ROUND function in Google Sheets is used to round a numerical value to a specific number of decimal places. Here's how to use the ROUND function:

  1. Click on the cell where you want to display the rounded value.
  2. Type the formula =ROUND(value, number of decimal places) in the formula bar, replacing "value" with the cell or numerical value you want to round and "number of decimal places" with the number of decimal places to which you want to round the value.
  3. Press Enter to apply the formula.

For example, if you want to round the value in cell A1 to 2 decimal places, you would use the formula =ROUND(A1, 2).

The ROUND function can also be used with negative numbers to round values to the left of the decimal point. For example, =ROUND(A1, -2) would round the value in cell A1 to the nearest hundred.

By using the ROUND function, you can ensure that your numerical values are displayed in a consistent and accurate way in your Google Sheets spreadsheets.
