Default Round to up to a threshold

Thanks for the help, I used your second solution, in order to keep the
significance of K2. I appreciate the quick and accurate response.

One of these two formulas should work for you, depending if you want L2
subject to the significance of K2 or not.

=MIN(CEILING(ABS(H2),K2),L2)

=MIN(CEILING(ABS(H2),K2),INT(L2/K2)*K2)

HTH,

However, I need to set an upper limit on how high a ceiling function will
round.

For instance: h2= -180 and k2=24
=ceiling(ABS(H2),K2)

This formula would give me 192. However, I need a third varable as an upper
limit. For instance, I cannot have the answer from the previous equation go
above 100. Therefore, the answer to the equation would be 96.
=ceiling(ABS(H2),K2) where that answer is less than or equal to L2

Any and all help is apprecitated!
