In this tutorial we will learn how to round a number to the nearest multiple of 5 using the Mround function. The MROUND function in Excel rounds a given number to its nearest multiple, which is specified in the function’s second argument, known as the “significance”. The first argument, “number”, is the value that needs to be rounded. In summary, Mround requires two arguments, the “number” to be rounded, and the “significance” – the multiple to which the number is to be rounded.
