I will use the following dataset throughout the entire article. In the Per Unit Price column, there are some prices. I will show you round them off in the Rounded Price column.
1. Round to Nearest 50 Cents Using ROUND Function
The ROUND function rounds off a number to the nearest value having a specific number of digits. So, I will use this function to round off prices to the nearest multiple of 50 cents.
Let’s get started.
❶ Firstly, insert the following formula in cell D5.
=ROUND(C5*2,0)/2❷ Then press the ENTER button.
Formula Breakdown
- C5*2: Doubles the number in cell C5. So $1.46 turns into $2.92.
- ROUND(C5*2,0): Rounds off $2.92 to the nearest integer value with no decimal places after the decimal point. So, $2.92 becomes $3.00.
- ROUND(C5*2,0)/2: Divides $3.00 by 2. So we get $1.50.
So, this is how the ROUND function rounds off numbers to the nearest multiple of 50 cents.
❸ After that, drag the Fill Handle from cell D5 to D14.
So you have successfully rounded off all the princes to their nearest multiple of 50 cents.
