ISO.CEILING function
Description
Rounds a number up, to the nearest integer or to the nearest multiple of significance.
Syntax
ISO.CEILING (<number>, [<significance>])
Parameters
Sr.No. | Parameter & Description |
---|---|
1 |
number The number you want to round, or a reference to a column that contains numbers. |
2 |
significance Optional. The multiple of significance to which you want to round. If omitted, the number is rounded up to the nearest integer. |
Return Value
A number, of the same type as the number argument, rounded as specified.
Remarks
DAX has two CEILING functions −
CEILING − Same as the Excel CEILING function.
ISO.CEILING − Follows the ISO-defined behavior for determining the ceiling value.
Both DAX CEILING and ISO.CEILING functions return the same value for positive numbers.
However, they return different values for negative numbers.
When using a positive multiple of significance, both CEILING and ISO.CEILING round negative numbers upward (toward positive infinity).
When using a negative multiple of significance, CEILING rounds negative numbers downward (toward negative infinity), while ISO.CEILING rounds negative numbers upward (toward positive infinity).
Example
= ISO.CEILING(2.5) returns 3. = ISO.CEILING(2.5,4) returns 4. = ISO.CEILING(-2.5,4) returns 0.
