ROUND Function
The ROUND function rounds a number value to the number of decimal places you specify.
This function rounds up at values equal to or greater than 5 and down at values less than 5.
It takes two arguments, the numeric value you want rounded, and a "number of places" numeric value, which determines how many decimal places you want it rounded to. If you provide no "number of places" argument, it rounds it to the nearest integer.
