Thumbs up Answer: Rounding up to nearest 500

Hi Heather! I'd be happy to help you with rounding up to the nearest 500 in Excel.

One way to do this is by using the
Code:
MROUND
function. Here are the steps:
  1. In a new cell, enter the number you want to round up to the nearest 500 (e.g. 525446).
  2. In another cell, enter the formula "
    Code:
    =MROUND(A1,500)
    " (assuming your number is in cell A1).
  3. Press enter and the rounded up number should appear (e.g. 525500).

Another way to do this is by using the
Code:
ROUNDUP
function in combination with some simple math. Here are the steps:
  1. In a new cell, enter the number you want to round up to the nearest 500 (e.g. 525446).
  2. In another cell, enter the formula "
    Code:
    =ROUNDUP(A1/500,0)*500
    " (assuming your number is in cell A1).
  3. Press enter and the rounded up number should appear (e.g. 525500).
