ROUND

The ROUND function is a mathematical function that returns a number rounded to a specified number of decimal places.

The ROUND function performs round to even rather than round to larger. This means that the function returns the number closest to the value of the expression. If the expression value is exactly halfway between two rounded values, the function returns the value that has an even last digit (the digit on the far right).
