|---|---|---|---|---|
| =FLOOR.MATH(24.3,5) | Rounds 24.3 down to the nearest multiple of 5. Source: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/floor-math-function-c302b599-fbdb-4177-ba19-2c2b1249a2f5 (worked example table) | 20 | 20 | Matched |
| =FLOOR.MATH(6.7) | Significance and mode both omitted -> defaults to nearest integer (significance 1). Source: Microsoft FLOOR.MATH docs. | 6 | 6 | Matched |
| =FLOOR.MATH(-8.1,2) | Negative number, mode omitted -> FLOOR.MATH's default for negative numbers rounds AWAY from zero (opposite default direction from CEILING.MATH's toward-zero default). | -10 | -10 Microsoft worked example: FLOOR.MATH(-8.1,2) = -10 ('rounds -8.1 down (away from 0) to the nearest integer that is a multiple of 2'). Note this default is the mirror image of CEILING.MATH's default (toward zero) for the same-shaped call. |

| =FLOOR.MATH(-5.5,2,-1) | Negative number with a nonzero mode argument -> reverses the default to round toward zero instead of away from zero. | -4 | -4 Microsoft worked example: FLOOR.MATH(-5.5,2,-1) = -4 ('rounds -5.5 toward 0 ... using a non-zero Mode, which reverses rounding direction'). |
