In Excel you can easily round number in order to view it. You can do it by just going to FormatMenu and then select Cells Numberand then need to select Number under Category. Then you can create a short cut by using the Increase Decimals and Decrease Decimals on the Format toolbar, which you can see it at the right of $ %, symbols.

You can also use the following:-

The HLOOKUP function uses the following syntax:

=HLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,row_index_num,[range_lookup])

The VLOOKUP function follows the nearly identical syntax:

=VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,[range_lookup]

In both functions, the lookup_value argument is the value that you want to look up in the table, table_array is the cell range or name of the table that contains both the value to look up and the related value to return.

Use the TRUNC function in your VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP function to force the LOOKUP value to be evaluated to a specific number of decimal places. For example, type the VLOOKUP function as follows:

=VLOOKUP(TRUNC(A1,2),C1: D5,2,FALSE)

This formula rounds the LOOKUP value in cell A1 to two decimal places and then looks for it in the lookup table (C1: D5). The formula returns the data from the second column of the lookup table. You can also check out the following link. Hope so it may help you out.
