# ROUNDUP

The **ROUNDUP** function rounds a number up, away from zero, to a specified number of decimal places. It always increases the value regardless of the following digits and is useful in scenarios where higher estimates or safety margins are required.

### Syntax

```javascript
ROUNDUP(value, significance)
```

### Arguments

value - The number to be rounded (Required).

significance - The number of decimal places to round off (Optional).

### Example

```javascript
ROUNDUP(Actuals,2) //Rounds the Actuals to 2 decimal places
```

In the example below, the *ROUNDUP* measure is created using the **ROUNDUP** function, which rounds the *Actuals* values up, away from zero, to two decimal places.
