The CEILING.PRECISE function in Google Sheets is a mathematical tool that allows users to round a number up to the nearest specified multiple. This function is useful for situations where precise rounding is necessary, such as in financial calculations or data analysis. By simply inputting the desired number and the specified multiple, the function will automatically round the number up to the nearest multiple, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in calculations. This function can be easily accessed and used in Google Sheets, making it a valuable tool for users looking to streamline their data management processes.
CEILING.PRECISE function
Parts of a CEILING.PRECISE formula
CEILING.PRECISE(number, [significance])
| Part | Description | Notes |
number | The value to round up to the nearest integer or multiple of significance. | |
significance | The number to whose multiples number will be rounded. The sign of significance will be ignored. | [OPTIONAL: 1 by default] |
Sample formulas
CEILING.PRECISE(-10.5, 1)
CEILING.PRECISE(96, 10)
CEILING.PRECISE(-23.25, 0.1)
Notes
- By default, positive numbers with decimal places are rounded up to the nearest integer. For example, 4.3 is rounded up to 5.
- Negative numbers are rounded up (toward zero). For example, -4.3 is rounded up to -4.
Examples
| A | B | |
| 1 | Formula | Result |
| 2 | =CEILING.PRECISE(-10.5, 1) | -10 |
| 3 | =CEILING.PRECISE(96, 10) | 100 |
| 4 | =CEILING.PRECISE(-23.25, 0.1) | 23.2 |
