# Round Rounding numeric data is important to ensure consistency and for readability. You would also need to round data to conform to industry standards. Inforidge offers 3 options: Round, Round Up, and Round Down. * Use **ROUND** for standard rounding needs * The **ROUNDUP** function always rounds a number up, away from zero. Use ROUNDUP when you always need a higher estimate, such as in budgeting or safety margins. * The **ROUNDDOWN** function always rounds a number down, toward zero. Use ROUNDDOWN for conservative estimates, like minimizing costs.
