   number as nullable number,
   optional digits as nullable number,
   optional roundingMode as nullable number,
) as nullable number
ArgumentAttributeDescription
numberThe number to round.
digitsoptionalDefines the number of decimal places for rounding.
roundingModeoptionalThe RoundingMode.Type argument controls the rounding method applied. When omitted, the function uses RoundingMode.ToEven, which rounds to the nearest even number in tie situations. Other options include:
RoundingMode.Up rounds up in such cases.
RoundingMode.Down rounds down.
RoundingMode.TowardZero rounds toward zero.
RoundingMode.AwayFromZero rounds away from zero.

Description

The Number.Round function rounds a given number to the nearest value. If the input is null, it returns null. By default, it rounds to the nearest integer, applying “banker’s rounding” (RoundingMode.ToEven), which breaks ties by rounding to the nearest even number. This behavior can be customized with optional “digits” and “roundingMode” parameters.

Number.Round( 1.234 ) // Returns 1

Round 1.56 to the nearest integer.

Number.Round( 1.56 ) // Returns 2
