Method 5 – Applying the MROUND Function for Rounding in Excel
With the MROUND function, we can round values to the multipliers.
Steps
- Select cell D5 and enter the following:
=MROUND(B5,1)- The Multiple here is chosen as 1, so the number will be rounded to a multiple of 1. The numbers will round closer to the nearest integer value in every case.
- Drag the Fill Handle icon in the corner of cell D5 to cell D12.
Note:
The Number argument and the Multiple argument must have the same sign.
Method 6 – Inserting the FLOOR Function to Round to the Nearest Whole Number
Steps
- Select cell D5 and enter the following.
=FLOOR(B5,1)- The Multiple here is chosen as 1, so the number will be rounded down to a multiple of 1 in every case. The numbers will be rounded closer to the nearest integer value in every case.
- Drag the Fill Handle button in the corner of cell D5 to cell D12.
Note:
- If any of the arguments in the FLOOR function are not numeric, the FLOOR function will return the #VALUE! error.
- If the number value is negative, the formula rounds up. If the number is positive, the formula rounds down.
- If the Significance number has fractions or decimal parts, the rounding will not result in an integer number.
- You can use the FLOOR.MATH function to automatically round the number down to an integer.

Method 7 – Using the CEILING Function to Round to the Nearest Whole Number in Excel
The CEILING function will round up the numbers.
Steps
- Select cell D5 and enter the following:
=CEILING(B5,1)- The significance here is chosen as 1, so the original number will be rounded down to a multiple of 1 in every case.
- AutoFill the column.
Note:
You can also use the CEILING.MATH function to round the numbers directly.
