    Here's an example of the different behavior of ROUND and CEILING/FLOOR.

    Luis, your expected return values for the negative values are wrong. Rounding negative values up doesn't go the direction you put the expected values. Rounding -30.1 up to the nearest 30 would go to -30 not -60 as -30 > -30.1. This is shown in your actual results.

    I would say that it depends. Rounding isn't fully defined and can follow different rules.

    That's why I left both options to compare.
