How to round up numbers in mail merge

In a mail merge, you can round up numbers using a combination of formulas and formatting. Here are a few methods:

Method 1: Using the ROUNDUP function

  1. In your mail merge document, insert a field where you want to display the rounded-up number.
  2. In the "Field or expression" box, type =ROUNDUP([YourField], 0), replacing [YourField] with the actual field name you want to round up.
  3. Press Enter to apply the formula.

The ROUNDUP function rounds a number up to the nearest integer. The second argument, 0, specifies the number of decimal places to round to (in this case, 0 means to round to the nearest integer).

Method 2: Using the INT function

  1. In your mail merge document, insert a field where you want to display the rounded-up number.
  2. In the "Field or expression" box, type =INT([YourField] + 0.99), replacing [YourField] with the actual field name you want to round up.
  3. Press Enter to apply the formula.

The INT function truncates a number to the nearest integer. By adding 0.99 to the field value, you effectively round up to the nearest integer.

Method 3: Using a custom format

  1. In your mail merge document, insert a field where you want to display the rounded-up number.
  2. Right-click on the field and select "Format" > "Number".
  3. In the "Format" dialog box, select "Custom" and enter # as the format code.
  4. Click "OK" to apply the format.

The # format code tells Microsoft Word to display the number as an integer, effectively rounding up any decimal values.
