Excel FIXED Function
The excel FIXED Function rounds a given number to the specified number of decimals, formats the number in decimal format using a period and commas, and returns the result as text.
In this section:
- Syntax of FIXED Function
- FIXED rounds to 2 decimal places
- Round the numbers without COMMA
- -1 and 0 decimal points
- FALSE or TRUE for COMMAS
- Final Notes on FIXED function
1. Syntax of FIXED Function:
FIXED(number, [decimals], [no_commas])
WHERE:
- Number : The number users want to round and convert to text. It is REQUIRED.
- Decimals : The number of digits to the right of the decimal point. It is OPTIONAL.
- No_commas : A logical value that, if TRUE, prevents FIXED from including commas in the returned text. It is also an OPTIONAL argument.
2. Without optional arguments, FIXED rounds to 2 decimal places:
To round the numbers to 2 decimal places, users do NOT need to use the optional arguments. It automatically rounds to the 2 decimal places:
3. Round the numbers without COMMA:
To round numbers without commas, use the formula =FIXED(C6,, TRUE), which returns the numbers rounded to 2 decimal places without thousand separator commas.
4. -1 and 0 decimal points:
Question: What is the difference between using -1 and 0 decimal points arguments?
Answer: If users use -1, it affects the number before the decimal point. If users use 0, it rounds the number. See the example below.
5. FALSE or TRUE for COMMAS:
If users want to commas, they can use FALSE in the formula as =FIXED(C6, 3, FALSE), which returns the number with thousand separator commas.
6. Final note:
- After converting the numbers by using FIXED function, we cannot use them as numbers because they are not text.
- If the decimal is negative, the number is rounded to the left of the decimal point.
- If users omit decimal, FIXED function assumes it is 2.
- If users do NOT use no commas or FALSE, the returned text includes commas by default.
