The tricky part of this formula is calculate x.
This is a variable, because it will change depending on the number being rounded.
Remember with ROUND that a negative number of digits works on theleftside of the decimal.
The ROUND function can round to the right or left of the decimal point.
LOG10 Function
The Excel LOG10 function returns the base 10 logarithm of a number.
For example, LOG10(100) returns 2, and LOG10(1000) returns 3.
Note that negative numbers becomemore negative.
For example, while INT(10.8) returns 10, INT(-10.8) returns -11.
ABS Function
The Excel ABS function returns the absolute value of a number.
ABS converts negative numbers to positive numbers, and positive numbers are unaffected.
