How to round values before summing in Excel?
In Excel, both the ROUND and SUM functions are commonly used, but have you ever thought about combining them? You can round values before summing them, or round the result after summing.
Round values before summing
Select a blank cell where you want to place the formula, then choose and paste one of the formulas below, as needed. Press Shift + Ctrl + Enter key to get to result:
=SUM(ROUND(A1:A6,0))
=SUM(ROUNDDOWN(A1:A6,0))
=SUM(ROUNDUP(A1:A6,0))
The values will first be rounded, rounded down, or rounded up, and then summed.
Round values after summing
