Default rounding the answer of a formula

=ROUNDUP(A5/12,2) entered in B5.

Double-click on B5 fill handle to copy down as far as you have numbers in A.

Thank you!

Instead of a number how would I write this if I wanted to reference a cell?
There will be a column of numbers and I'll want to divide each number by 12.
A5/12
A6/12
A7/12 etc

Thanks

I want to divide one number by another and round the answer up to the
nearest hundreth.
Ie, 38 inches divided by 12 equals 3.17.
Right now I can DISPLAY the 3.17 but when using that in a formula it's
calculating with 3.1667

Thanks in advance
