Round if decimal number is greater than
This tutorial shows how to round if a decimal number is greater than a specific number using an Excel formula, with the IF, ABS, TRUNC and ROUND functions
Hard coded formula
Cell reference formula

GENERIC FORMULA
=IF(ABS(value-TRUNC(value))>greater_value,ROUND(value,0),value)
ARGUMENTS GENERIC FORMULA
=IF(ABS(value-TRUNC(value))>greater_value,ROUND(value,0),value)
ARGUMENTS EXPLANATION This formula uses the TRUNC function to return the truncated number of the number that is being tested. It then subtracts that number from the exact number that is being tested to return the decimal value of the number that is to be rounded. The ABS function is used to return the absolute number, therefore, returning the result as a positive number. The IF function is then used to check if the decimal number derived through the use of the ABS and TRUNC functions is greater than the specified decimal number. If the IF function returns a TRUE value, meaning that the number that is being tested is greater than a specific decimal number, the formula will round the number through the use of the ROUND function. If the number is less than or equal to the specific decimal number the formula will return the exact number that is being tested, without rounding it.
