Roman

Syntax:

ROMAN(number, [form])
  • number: The Arabic number you want to convert to Roman numerals. It must be a positive integer between 1 and 3999.
  • form (optional): A number between 0 and 4 that specifies the type of Roman numeral formatting.
    • 0 or omitted: Classic Roman numerals (e.g., IV for 4, IX for 9).
    • 1 to 4: Progressive simplification of the numeral format.
      • 1: More concise form (less traditional).
      • 4: Most simplified form.

Examples:

  1. =ROMAN(1999) would return MCMXCIX because 1999 in Roman numerals is MCMXCIX.

  2. =ROMAN(4) would return IV because 4 in Roman numerals is IV.

  3. =ROMAN(4, 1) would return IIII as a simplified form of Roman numerals for 4.

  4. =ROMAN(2024, 0) would return MMXXIV because 2024 in Roman numerals is MMXXIV.

  5. =ROMAN(499, 4) would return ID as the most simplified representation of 499.

Note: If the input number is outside the valid range (1 to 3999), the ROMAN function will return a #VALUE! error.
