I concur: I took your latter statement out of context. Mea culpa!

But I still think it is important to emphasize the unlikely difference that
"banker's rounding" makes in general, IMHO.

I think we can let the horse into heaven now. :-)

That is not quite correct. For example, Round(2.xx,0) is 2 only when 2.xx
is exactly 2.50. Round(2.51,0) is 3.

I guess putting the formula example after defining the context for that
statement and before making that statement made it unclear that that
statement
applied when the value fell exactly on the midpoint. I thought it was
clear
that I was referring to midpoint issues, but I guess I'll have to be more
careful.


"And you did not define what you wanted to do in the event that your value
fell
exactly on the midpoint.

"The general formula, would be Round(n/0.5,0)*0.5

"The VBA Round function rounds to the nearest even number."
