how I would add a button that when clicked
would change the control numbers in a cell?
you will need to be a wee bit more specific than that...do you want say a
dropdown box(es) to select markups and or rounding ammounts,ie 95 55 etc....

Don't suppose either of you know how I would add a button that when clicked
would change the control numbers in a cell?

I agree with you.
And with an example:
Cost is 1.00:
=ROUNDUP(A1*1.5,0)+0.99 returns 2.99
=ROUNDUP((A1*1.5),0)-0.01 returns 1.99
=ROUNDDOWN(A1*1.5,0)+0.99 returns 1.99
Cost is 2.00:
=ROUNDUP(A1*1.5,0)+0.99 returns 3.99
=ROUNDUP((A1*1.5),0)-0.01 returns 2.99
=ROUNDDOWN(A1*1.5,0)+0.99 returns 3.99
So the only formula that really works is the =rounddown() version.
Here's hoping the OP comes back.

Maybe...
=ROUNDUP(A1*1.5,0)+0.99
Thanks this one worked perfect!
If by "works", you mean that it produces an answer
with ".99" at the end, I would agree. But I believe
it gives the wrong answer in most cases. By "wrong",
I mean that result will be slightly higher than necessary.
Of course, you might not care, since it merely mean
more profit. But I believe the "correct" answer is
ROUNDDOWN, not ROUNDUP.
Proof: If 1.5*R is ccc.99, ROUNDDOWN()+0.99 with
result in ccc.99. Otherwise, 1.5*R is less than ccc.99,
and ROUNDDOWN()+0.99 results in 1.5*R rounded up
to ".99".
Note: I believe that is also true for ROUNDIP()-0.01,
which someone else suggested.
In contrast, ROUNDUP()+0.99 results in 1.00+ccc.99
-- that is, an extract $1 -- in all cases where 1.5*R is
ccc.01 or more.
