ROUND Function in ONLYOFFICE Spreadsheet Editor: Examples and Syntax

Mathematical Beginner ONLYOFFICE Spreadsheet Editor

ROUND in ONLYOFFICE Spreadsheet Editor: round a numeric value to a chosen number of digits with examples, advanced use, errors, troubleshooting and official sources.

Verification status: Official documentation referenced; example outcomes independently reasoned or arithmetically checked where stated. Not executed in ONLYOFFICE Spreadsheet Editor. How formula examples are checked

Quick answer: Use ROUND to round a numeric value to a chosen number of digits. The steps below are original teaching examples derived from official syntax and independently checked arithmetic. No screenshot or result is represented as a native editor execution.

Exact syntax and argument definitions

=ROUND(number, num_digits)
Argument Required? Meaning
number Required Value or calculation to round.
num_digits Required Decimal places (2), whole numbers (0), or tens (-1).

Square brackets are documentation markers for optional parameters, not characters to type in a formula. Formula names and comma-separated arguments here follow ONLYOFFICE’s official function-entry guide. Locale settings can affect punctuation and displayed formats.

Reproducible worked dataset

Create a new sheet with these small source records:

Row A: Item B: Value
2 Tape 12.346
3 Pad 4.994
4 Box 135.5

If a cell is marked leave empty, leave it truly empty rather than entering the words in the table. Put the formula in a free cell away from the source data.

=ROUND(B2,2)

Expected result: 12.35. 12.346 rounds to 12.35 because the third decimal is 6. This is an arithmetic/logical prediction on the supplied sample, not a claim of native ONLYOFFICE testing.

Second result for comparison

=ROUND(B4,-1)

Expected result: 140. Negative one rounds to the nearest ten. Comparing these two results helps identify incorrect ranges and mismatched conditions.

Advanced practical example

Apply a 1.13 multiplication factor to the B3 figure, then round the result.

=ROUND(B3*1.13,2)

Expected result: 5.64. 4.994 times 1.13 equals 5.64322, rounded to two decimals. Change just the source value described above to reproduce the variation.

Common mistakes, edge cases and limitations

Formatting a cell to show two decimal places does not necessarily change its stored numeric value; ROUND changes the calculated number. Rounding each line before totaling can differ from rounding the final total.

Unrecognized formula names, missing arguments, incorrect parentheses and incompatible separators may cause an error. When an output is surprising, test the small example first, check whether input values are genuine numbers, then inspect the formula’s range endpoints. Do not guess a specific error label when it has not been produced by a native test.

Troubleshooting steps

If totals differ slightly, locate every ROUND operation and confirm whether the input is numeric and num_digits is set correctly. If formulas are displayed as text, ensure the destination cell is treated as a formula and starts with an equals sign. If copying a formula, decide which references should remain fixed and apply $ anchors as needed.

ONLYOFFICE version and edition notes

The current official function inventory lists this function. The checked changelog does not give its first supported build. Verify the installed edition rather than implying unsupported old builds work.

The official changelog was reviewed on 2026-10-11 UTC. No unsupported introduction date or minimum edition is invented.

Cross-software compatibility

Excel and Google Sheets have ROUND; check negative midpoint behaviours if financial policy requires exact rounding rules. Microsoft also provides a version-aware function catalogue. Consult the eight-software comparison for navigation, but verify formula semantics in each destination app before copying a workbook.
