FAQ
What should I do if ROUNDBANK returns a #VALUE! error?
- Check whether the arguments are numeric values instead of text, extra spaces, or unsupported characters.
- Confirm that the function name, commas, and parentheses are entered correctly.
- If the source data was pasted from another location, clean the cell content and enter the formula again.
Why does the ROUNDBANK result look different from what I expected?
- Confirm whether your worksheet needs banker’s rounding instead of standard rounding.
- Check whether the
num_digitsargument is correct, because positive, zero, and negative values affect the rounding position. - If needed, test the formula step by step against the original number to verify the rounding point.
How do I use the ROUNDBANK function in multiple cells?
- Enter the correct ROUNDBANK formula in the first target cell.
- Select that cell and drag the fill handle across the target range.
- After filling, review relative and absolute references before applying the formula to a full row or column.
