This is the dataset that I am going to use. Here we have a number, which I will round to 2 decimal places.
5 Easy Methods to Use Excel VBA to Round a Number to 2 Decimal Places
1. Using VBA to Round a Number to 2 Decimal Places for a Specific Sheet
In the first method, I will do the simplest task. I will round a number to 2 decimal places using VBA macros.
- VBA window will appear. Then go to Insert >> select Module.
- In the module, write down the following code.
Sub Round_Numbers()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Round A Number")
ws.Range("C4") = Application.WorksheetFunction.Round(ws.Range("B4"), 2)
End Sub
Code Breakdown
- I have created a Sub Procedure Round_Numbers. Then I used the dim statement to define a variable ws as Worksheet.
- Next, I used the Set statement to set the worksheet named “Round A Number” using the Worksheets object in ws
- Then I used Round to get the number in B4 rounded. The result will be in C4 and 2 defines that Excel will round the number to 2 decimal places.
- Then press F5 to run the code. Excel will return the output in C4.

2. Applying VBA Macros to Round a Cell Value
Now I will apply VBA macros to round a cell value. This time I will use row and column index to define a cell.
STEPS:
- In the module, write down the following code.
Sub Round_Cell_Value()
Worksheets("Round A Cell").Cells(4, 3).Value = _
Application.WorksheetFunction.Round(Cells(4, 2).Value, 2)
End Sub
Code Breakdown
- I have created a Sub Procedure Round_Cell_Value.
- Then I used the Worksheet object to mention the Sheet name Cell Value where the Sheet name is “Round A Cell” and the Cell Value (4,3) is C4 to keep my output.
- Then I used Round to get the number in B4 rounded. The result will be in C4 and 2 defines that Excel will round the number to 2 decimal places.
- Then run the code by selecting the icon (see image).
Excel will return the output.

3. Using VBA to Round a Range of Numbers to 2 Decimal Places
Now, I will go for something a bit more complex as well as useful. This time I will use VBA macros to round a range of numbers.
I have the Amount of Tax for some people (in C4:C9) and I want the numbers to be rounded.
STEPS:
- Open a module in the VBA macros window following method-1 or method-2.
- In the module, write down the following code
Sub Round_a_Range()
Dim n As Integer
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Round A Range")
For n = 4 To 9
ws.Cells(n, 4).Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Round(Cells(n, 3).Value, 2)
Next n
End Sub
Code Breakdown
- I have created a Sub Procedure Round_a_range. I used the dim statement to define a variable ws as Worksheet.
- Next, I used the Set statement to set the worksheet named “Round A Range” using the Worksheets object in ws
- I also took a variable n as an integer and applied a For loop for n which will go from the 4th to 9th row.
- Then I used Round to get the numbers rounded.
- Press F5 to run the code. Excel will return the output.
- Format as you wish.
4. Inserting MsgBox to Show Rounded Number
In Excel, you can also use a message box to let Excel show you something. In this method, I will insert a message box to show rounded numbers.
STEPS:
- Open a module in the VBA macros window following method-1 or method-2.
- In the module, write down the following code
Sub Using_MsgBox()
Dim Number As Double
Number = 257.865
MsgBox "The value is " & Round(Number, 2)
End Sub
Code Breakdown
- I have created a Sub Procedure Using_Msgbox. Then I used the dim statement to define a variable Number as Double and placed 865 in the Number variable.
- Then I inserted a MsgBox which will show me the rounded number.
- Press F5 to run the code. Excel will return the output.

Sub Using_Cell_Reference()
Dim Round_2_Decimal As Double
Round_2_Decimal = Round(Range("B4").Value, 2)
MsgBox "The value is " & Round_2_Decimal
End Sub
Code Breakdown
- I have created a Sub Procedure Using_Cell_Reference. Then I used the dim statement to define a variable Round_2_Decimal as Double.
- Round_2_Decimal will hold the rounded value of the number in the B4 cell upto 2 decimal places.
- Then I inserted a MsgBox which will show me the rounded number.
- Press F5 to run the code. Excel will return the output.
