PowerQuery Rounding Issues
I have a decimal column in PowerQuery with numbers as below: 11.25 12.5 Whenever I roundup, 11.25 is changed to 12 and 12.5 is 13 Whenever I rounddown, 11.25 is changed to 11 but now 12.5 is ...

The default rounding mode for power query is to handle the mid-point by rounding to the closest even number.
Since you seem to want to round away from zero, you need to replace Number.Round(number, [digits]) in your M-code with Number.Round(number, [digits], RoundingModeAwayFromZero).
Excel ROUND inherently does RoundAwayFromZero, and VBA.Round does RoundToEven
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjRQitUBUoZ6RqYQlpEelGEMYsQCAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Main = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Main", type number}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "PQ Round", each Number.Round([Main ]), type number), #"Added Custom0" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "RoundUp", each Number.RoundUp([Main]), type number), #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom0", "RoundDown", each Number.RoundDown([Main]), type number), #"Added Custom2" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom1", "RoundAwayFromZero 1", each Number.Round([Main],0,RoundingMode.AwayFromZero), type number) in #"Added Custom2"

Thanks ronrsnfld for your respond.
I have edited the M-Code but it doesnt seem to be working. The only issue is whenever the code tries to roundup 11.25 it gives result as 12 whereas it should be 11.

3 years agoSee my edited answer. You need to use
Number.Round([Main],0,RoundingMode.AwayFromZero
I initially thought that and Number.RoundAwayFromZero were the same, but they are not.
