Description

This function returns a value (or dataset) x with n decimal places.

Note:

Since Origin 9.1, a new algorithm has been used to calculate the rounding value. A system variable @RNA can be used to switch the rounding behavior. When @RNA=1 (default), round functions similarly as ROUND function in MS Excel. In this case, the half-way value is always rounded away from 0. When @RNA=0, round function behaves as previous versions.

For example, when @RNA=0, round(2.55,1) =2.5; while @RNA=1, round(2.55,1) =2.6.
