I want the result of a formula to be rounded to the nearest 1,000

I can't seem to come up with a formula that will take the result of a formula in a cell and round it to the nearest thousand.  Any suggestions?

    Let's say the formula is in F2.

    If you want the result in another cell, for example G2:

    =ROUND(F2, -3)

    If you want to round the result of the formula in F2 itself: change

    =formula

    to

    =ROUND(formula, -3)

      I must be missing something.  For example, I have a cell where the formula is =((G11*G6)*12).

      If I enter: =ROUND((G11*G6)*12),-3

      I get an error message: Too few arguments for this formula.

      What I want to do is round the result of the formula to the nearest thousand.

        It should be

         

        =ROUND(((G11*G6)*12),-3)

         

        or, since the parentheses in the original formula are superfluous:

         

        =ROUND(G11*G6*12,-3)
