What is ROUNDUP called in Spanish?

In Spanish Google Sheets it is REDONDEAR.MAS. The formula =ROUNDUP(B2/C2,0) is written =REDONDEAR.MAS(B2/C2;0) (or with commas under a Mexico locale).

Why does ROUNDUP use semicolons in some spreadsheets?

It depends on each spreadsheet's locale, under File > Settings. Where the comma is the decimal mark (Spain, much of South America), arguments are separated by semicolons. Mexico and United States locales use commas.
