# ROUND

The ROUND function calculates rounded value of the specified number or node.

### Syntax

ROUND(value) - > number

### Arguments

<table><thead><tr><th width="159">Arguments</th><th width="148">Datatype</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>value</td><td>Number/Node reference</td><td>This is the number or node values which you want to round off. This is a required argument.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Remarks

If the decimal value is less than 5, it will round down and if it is 5 or more it will round up.

### Example

Consider this example.

<table><thead><tr><th width="84"></th><th width="131">Jan</th><th width="64">Feb</th><th width="64">Mar</th><th width="64">Apr</th><th width="64">May</th><th width="64">Jun</th><th width="64">Jul</th><th width="64">Aug</th><th width="64">Sep</th><th width="64">Oct</th><th width="64">Nov</th><th width="64">Dec</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><mark style="color:purple;">Sales</mark></td><td>69700.64</td><td>72700</td><td>76500.93</td><td>70200.69</td><td>71500.72</td><td>83900.54</td><td>70000.721</td><td>69500.43</td><td>74200.94</td><td>67700.38</td><td>78450.82</td><td>68950.43</td></tr><tr><td><mark style="color:orange;">Cost of Sales</mark></td><td>43400.36</td><td>44300.68</td><td>46700.93</td><td>45300.25</td><td>43600.54</td><td>46900.39</td><td>44200.452</td><td>42800.81</td><td>45900.18</td><td>43800.06</td><td>47200.67</td><td>41000.32</td></tr></tbody></table>

To achieve this, the following formula should be written in the \[Gross Profit] node

<mark style="color:blue;">**`ROUND`**</mark>**`(`**<mark style="color:blue;">**`SUBTRACT`**</mark>**`(`**<mark style="color:purple;">**`[Sales]`**</mark>**`,`**<mark style="color:orange;">**`[Cost of Sales]`**</mark>**`))`**

### **Result**

<table><thead><tr><th width="84"></th><th width="131">Jan</th><th width="64">Feb</th><th width="64">Mar</th><th width="64">Apr</th><th width="64">May</th><th width="64">Jun</th><th width="64">Jul</th><th width="64">Aug</th><th width="64">Sep</th><th width="64">Oct</th><th width="64">Nov</th><th width="64">Dec</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Gross Profit</td><td>26300</td><td>28399</td><td>29800</td><td>24900</td><td>27900</td><td>37000</td><td>25800</td><td>26700</td><td>28301</td><td>23900</td><td>31250</td><td>27950</td></tr></tbody></table>

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.valq.com/model/formula-functions/math-functions/round.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
