MROUND - Excel Essentials S04E01

Ever tried rounding numbers in Excel… only to realise ROUND, ROUNDUP, and ROUNDDOWN can’t do what you need? If you’ve ever struggled to round to multiples like 2, 5, 7, 10, 15, 500 - this video finally fixes that frustration. Today, we break down MROUND, one of Excel’s most underrated formulas, and show you exactly how to use it without getting caught by its hidden pitfalls in this Excel Essentials video. ✅What You’ll Learn: ✔️ How MROUND works and how it differs from ROUND/ROUNDUP/ROUNDDOWN ✔️ How to round to any multiple (2, 5, 7, 15, 500, etc.) ✔️ How to round negative numbers correctly ✔️ How to round decimals to decimal multiples ✔️ Why MROUND returns #NUM! errors - and how to fix them ✔️ The weird midpoint rounding bug you MUST know ✔️ Real examples you can copy straight into your spreadsheets The MROUND function returns a number rounded to the nearest specified multiple. Unlike ROUND (which rounds to decimal places), MROUND lets you round to values like: - Nearest 2 → 57 becomes 58 - Nearest 5 → 26 becomes 25 - Nearest 7 → 57 becomes 56 - Nearest 15 → 26 becomes 30 - Nearest 500 → 257 becomes 500 You’ll also learn how MROUND behaves with: - Negative numbers (e.g., –10 rounded to –3 becomes –9) - Decimal multiples (e.g., 1.3 rounded to 0.3 becomes 1.2) - Mixed signs (why +5 and –3 cause a NUM! error) - Midpoint decimals (why 6.05 rounds differently from 7.05) By the end, you’ll understand exactly when MROUND works beautifully - and when Excel gets a bit weird. =MROUND(number, multiple) number = the number you wish to round multiple = the value you want it to round to, i.e., if this was 3, it will round to a multiple of 3 This tutorial is perfect for: - Excel beginners wanting to understand rounding properly - Students learning formulas for the first time - Data analysts who need precise rounding rules - Finance, accounting, and reporting professionals - Anyone who wants cleaner, more accurate spreadsheets 👍Enjoyed the video?
