Excel ROUNDDOWN Function
Summary

Return value
A rounded number.
Syntax

Arguments
- number - The number to round down.

Usage notes
The ROUNDDOWN function works like the ROUND function except when rounding, the ROUNDDOWN function will always round the numbers 1-9 down.
The ROUNDDOWN function can round either to the left or right of the decimal point.
If num_digits > 0, number is rounded down to the specified number of decimal places to the right of the decimal point.
If num_digits <>number is rounded down to the left of the decimal point (i.e. to the nearest 10, 100, 1000, etc.).
If num_digits = 0, number is rounded down to the nearest integer.
