Thumbs up Answer: Round up an average

To round up an average in Excel, use the ROUNDUP function

To round up an average in Excel, you can use the
Code:
ROUNDUP
function. The error message you received is because the
Code:
ROUNDUP
function requires two arguments: the number you want to round up, and the number of decimal places to round to. Here's how you can fix your formula:
  1. Code:
    =ROUNDUP(AVERAGE(A1:A5),0)

In this formula, we're using the
Code:
AVERAGE
function to calculate the average of the range A1:A5, and then passing that result as the first argument to the
Code:
ROUNDUP
function. The second argument is 0, which means we want to round up to the nearest whole number.

If you want to round up to a specific number of decimal places, you can change the second argument of the
Code:
ROUNDUP
function. For example, to round up to two decimal places, you would use:
  1. Code:
    =ROUNDUP(AVERAGE(A1:A5),2)

This will give you the average of the range A1:A5, rounded up to two decimal places.
