This feature can be particularly useful for financial and statistical purposes. To use the FLOOR.PRECISE function, simply input the desired number and specify the multiple or increment within the function’s parameters.
FLOOR.PRECISE function
The FLOOR.PRECISE functions rounds a number down to the nearest integer or multiple of specified significance.
Parts of a FLOOR.PRECISE formula
FLOOR.PRECISE(number, [significance])
| Part | Description | Notes |
number | The value to round down to the nearest integer or multiple of significance. | |
significance | The number to whose multiple’s number will be rounded. |
|
Sample formulas
FLOOR.PRECISE(-10.5, 1)
FLOOR.PRECISE(96, 10)
FLOOR.PRECISE(-23.25,0.1)
Notes
- By default, positive numbers with decimal places are rounded down to the nearest integer. For example, 4.8 is rounded down to 4.
- Negative numbers are rounded down (away from zero). For example, -4.8 is rounded down to -5.
