How to round range of numbers to even in Excel?
What is round to even in Excel? Round to even also called bankers rounding, basically it is just like normal rounding, except when the number to be rounded on is number 5. If the digit before the 5 is odd, you should round up, and if the digit before the 5 is even, you should round down.
For example, 23.345 round to even on the percentile would be 23.34. and 12.335 round to even on the percentile would be 12.34.
In this article, I will talk about how to do the bankers rounding in Excel.

Compare methods for rounding numbers to even
The three methods below can all perform bankers rounding, but they differ significantly in how the rounded results are created and how much setup is required. Use this comparison to choose the approach that best fits your workflow.
| Method | Best for | Result | Setup |
|---|---|---|---|
| User-Defined Function | Dynamic bankers-rounding results that should remain linked to source values | Creates formula results in separate cells | Requires adding VBA code, entering the custom formula, and filling it across the range |
| VBA code | Automating in-place rounding with a reusable macro | Rounds selected values directly in their original cells | Requires opening the VBA editor, adding code, and running the macro |
| Kutools for Excel | Quickly applying bankers rounding to an entire range without coding | Updates the selected values directly | Select the range, choose Round to Even, preview the results, and apply |
Round numbers to even with User-Defined Function
You can use the following defined function to round numbers to even in Excel. Please do as follows:
1. Select the numbers that you want to round to even.
2. Then hold down the ALT + F11 keys, and it opens the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.
3. Click Insert > Module, and paste the following macro in the Module Window.
Function BankersRound(num, precision)
BankersRound = Round(num, precision)
End Function
4. Save the code, and enter the formula =bankersround(A1,2) into the adjacent blank cell. See screenshot:
5. Then press the Enter key. Select cell B1, then drag the fill handle over the range that you want to contain this formula. See screenshot:
Round numbers to even with VBA code
If you don’t want to use the defined function, the following VBA code can also help you round selected values to even directly. Do as follows:

intNumberOfDecimal = Application.InputBox("NumberOfDecimal", xTitleId, Type:=1)
Set WorkRng = WorkRng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlNumbers)
For Each rng In WorkRng
rng.Value = Round(rng.Value, intNumberOfDecimal)
Next
End Sub4. Then press the F5 key to run this code. In the prompt box, enter the number of decimals that you want to round. See screenshot:
