FLOOR.PRECISE(number [,significance])

Returns the number rounded down to the nearest integer or multiple.

numberThe number to be rounded down.
significance(Optional) The multiple you want the number rounded to.

REMARKS
* FLOOR.MATH was added in Excel 2013 to replace this function.
* Negative decimal numbers are always rounded down (away from zero). The FLOOR.MATH function gives you a choice.
* For example FLOOR(-1.1,-1) = -1 but FLOOR.PRECISE(-1.1,-1) = -2.
* This function is only available for backwards compatibility and should not be used.
* This function does not appear in the Function Wizard or the Cell AutoComplete.
* There was also a CEILING.PRECISE that rounded the number up.
* This function was added in Excel 2010 to replace the FLOOR function.
* For the Microsoft documentation refer to support.microsoft.com
