FLOOR

Description: Rounds number down, toward zero, to the nearest multiple of significance.

Syntax: FLOOR(Number, Significance)

• Number is the numerical value you want to round.

• Significance is the multiple to which you want to round.

Remarks:

• Both arguments must be numerical.

• Both Number and Significance must have the same sign.

• Regardless of the sign of Number, a value is rounded down when adjusted away from zero. If Number is an exact multiple of Significance, no rounding occurs.

Example:

• FLOOR(2.5, 1) = 2 [rounds 2.5 down to nearest multiple of 1]

• FLOOR(-2.5, -2) = -2 [rounds -2.5 down to nearest multiple of -2]

• FLOOR(-2.5, 2) = #NUM! [returns an error, because -2.5 and 2 have different signs]
