MROUND

Rounds a number (using the common rule) to the closest multiple of another number

Usage

MROUND(number, [multiple_of])

Parameters

number	(Required) The number
multiple_of	The multiple to round to (by default `1`). The sign has no impact on the result.

Examples

Example	With these variables	Result
MROUND(10)	(None)	10
MROUND(10.1)	(None)	10
MROUND(10.5)	(None)	11
MROUND(10.9)	(None)	11
MROUND(number)	number is -10.1	-10
MROUND(-10.5)	(None)	-11
MROUND(-10.9)	(None)	-11
MROUND(6.05, 0.1)	(None)	6.1
MROUND(7.05, 0.1)	(None)	7.1
MROUND(10.9, 2)	(None)	10
MROUND(11, 2)	(None)	12
MROUND(-10.9, 2)	(None)	-10
MROUND(-11, 2)	(None)	-12

More information

If number is already a multiple of multiple_of, then number is returned as is.

Values at the mid-point (ex: MROUND(0.5, 1)) are rounded away from zero.

Reminders

A text containing digits is not handled as a number. To have an actual number:

use the @NUMBER_QUESTION to set the variable
write a numeric value directly in the code without quotes, ex: age >= 18
use a function which converts to a number: NUMBER(text_containing_numbers)
use a function which returns a number: FIND("world", "hello everybody")
