Is it possible to construct function that rounds down if 5 is met
For example:
1) 2.455 = 2.45
2) 2.454 = 2.45
3) 2.456 = 2.46
...
Simplest way would be
=ROUND(x-0.0009,2)
Given OP's specifications, how should
2.4559
round?
Either we read nothing more into the OP's specs, in which case they're
silent about this, so it's up to the OP to decide, or we make an
intelligent extension to the OP's specs. The problem is rounding
numbers to 2 decimal places when the 3rd decimal place is 5 and,
presumably, all subsequent decimal places are zero (that's the
intelligent extension). If there were additional decimal places, then
the 4th decimal place may explicitly be something other than zero. If
so, use
=ROUND(ROUND(x,3)-0.0009,2)
The inner ROUND call would return 2.456 given 2.4559, and the outer
ROUND call would return 2.46, which I'd guess is what the OP would
want.
You'd have done better to have used 2.4558.
