I have a formula calculating a percentage. This cell(A)
is formatted to round to 0 decimal places. In another cell
(B) is a formula multiplying cell (C) by the rounded up
percentage in cell A. However, cell B's result is cell C
times cell A rounded to 3 decimal places.

i.e. Cell A=50% (rounded from 49.712%) Cell C=100 the
resulting Cell B=49.712. I need B to equal 50. Here's
the kicker, sometimes cell B does need to be rounded to 2
decimal places so I cannot format the cell to round to 0
decimal places.

How do I get cell B to multiply by the rounded up value in
cell A?
Sorry for the long explanation and thank you for any help.
