What should be the result when the decimal part is equal to 0.75?

Currently, round uses 0.5 as the threshold. The quickest solution would be to modify your data by subtracting 0.25 to artificially move the threshold. Now, 0.75 become 0.5 and is still rounded up. 1.74 becomes 1.49, and is rounded down. In both cases, you end up with the value you want.
x = [3.32;0.78];
round(x-0.25)
ans = 2×1
3 1

You can determine if it works just by testing it. Do you get the expected results?

Hi @aldo,
you could use this as another way to round your numbers according to what you desire by doing the following
x=[0.33 0.45 1.56 1.77];
x=floor(x+0.25)
x = 1×4
0 0 1 2
Hope this helps!
