The ROMAN function converts a number to Roman numerals.
ROMAN(number, [style])
 number: The Arabic numeral that you want to convert. Must be nonnegative and less
than 4000.
 style: Optional; determines how strictly the classical rules for forming Roman
numerals are applied:
0 (or TRUE, or omitted) uses the most strict classical rules. When a smaller numeral
precedes a larger to indicate subtraction, the smaller must be a power of 10 and can
precede a number no more than 10 times its size. For example, 999 is represented as
CMXCIX, but not LMVLIV.
precedes a larger to indicate subtraction, the smaller must be a power of 10 and can
precede a number no more than 10 times its size. For example, 999 is represented as
CMXCIX, but not LMVLIV.
1 relaxes the strict classical rule by one degree. When a smaller number precedes a
larger, the smaller need not be a power of 10 and the relative size rule is extended by
one numeral. For example, 999 can be represented as LMVLIV, but not XMIX.
larger, the smaller need not be a power of 10 and the relative size rule is extended by
one numeral. For example, 999 can be represented as LMVLIV, but not XMIX.
2 relaxes the classical rule by two degrees. When a smaller number precedes a larger,
the relative size rule is extended by two numerals. For example, 999 can be
represented as XMIX, but not VMIV.
the relative size rule is extended by two numerals. For example, 999 can be
represented as XMIX, but not VMIV.
3 relaxes the classical rule by three degrees. When a smaller number precedes a
larger, the relative size rule is extended by two numerals. For example, 999 can be
represented as VMIV, but not IM.
larger, the relative size rule is extended by two numerals. For example, 999 can be
represented as VMIV, but not IM.
4 or FALSE relaxes the classical rule by four degrees. When a smaller number
precedes a larger, the relative size rule is extended by two numerals. For example,
999 can be represented as IM.
precedes a larger, the relative size rule is extended by two numerals. For example,
999 can be represented as IM.
