  • Next action available: You can continue entering parameters and finish the formula.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If you forget to type = first, the content may be treated as plain text.
  • Environment note: You need to be in an editable spreadsheet cell.

2. Complete a ROUNDDOWN calculation and return a result

Entry point: Spreadsheet workspace → target cell / formula bar

  1. Select the target cell and type =ROUNDDOWN(.
  2. Enter the number or cell reference you want to process.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: An incorrect cross-sheet reference can produce an unexpected result.
  • Environment note: When nesting formulas, pay attention to parenthesis levels and parameter order.
