In this case,

  • The formula = ROUND (C4,1) for number 10.567 (C4) results to round value to 1 decimal place 10.6
  • The formula = ROUND (C4,2 ) for number 10.567 (C4) results to round value to 2 decimal place 10.57
  • The formula = ROUND (C4,-1) for number 10.567 (C4) results to round value nearest to 10 is 10.
  • The formula = ROUND (C4,-2) for number 10.567 (C4) results to round value nearest to 100 is 0.

Then if you need to apply this formula to other numbers in column C, you can drag the auto fill handle to fill them. Excel will automatically fill up them saving your time and effort.
