Default Problem with rounding?

user "Round" rather than "Roundup", the systax is the same.

Hi
I use excel for calculating calibration errors based on range/target
value/actual value, and then round the answers to two decimal places. I have
noticed some errors where the figures are being rounded too high. Please see
example below:

Range 0 - 200
Target Value: 100
Input Value: 99.94
Actual error: -0.06
Error as % of range: -0.03
Using the formula: ROUNDUP((((100-99.94)/200)*100),2)
I get the answer -0.04

Can you tell me if I'm doing something wrong?!
Thank you.
