How to use ROUND in Google Sheets
Round a result
How ROUND works
ROUND trims a number to the number of decimal places you choose. You can put another formula inside it.
Average price of the first three orders, rounded to a whole number.
What you’ll do
You’ll find the average units per order and tidy it to one decimal place. Rounding makes results easier to read in a report without changing the data underneath.
Try it
Type =ROUND(AVERAGE(F2:F4),0) into K2 and press Enter. Watch what the sheet does.
The result will appear in K2.
