Default Round time to quarter hour

In this particular case, Amy had actually replied to your previous message,
so her message had the right reference line in the header to be included in
the old thread, but I agree that the problem of identically named threads
being clumped by OE is a pain in the proverbials.

You pegged it! I completely missed the name shift as well as the date
switch. Whose bright idea in Microsoft was it to append messages in
Outlook Express (and now Windows Mail) onto old, existing grouped message
threads just because they had the same Subject line? Couldn't they have
given us a configurable option to select an "it's too old" time period
after which same-subject messages would become a new thread instead of a
continuation of an old one? Well, anyway, I was completely fooled on this
one... thanks for pointing out the person/date time shift so I could see
what I had missed in Amy's response.

The confusion may have arisen in that Amy (to whom you were replying) was
not the OP, but came along to the thread a couple of months later. The
OP (pdberger) had MROUND working, but Amy probably didn't. The OP was
presumably happy with the answers which you and I had given in September.

My guess is that Amy didn't have the ToolPak enabled, but she may
possibly have suffered from the occasional glitch where Excel forgets
that the ToolPak is supposed to be there. In the latter case, either a
disable/ re-enable ToolPak, or a shutdown/ re-open Excel, or a reboot,
will usually do the trick.

I figured that Add-In had to already be checked given, according to the
OP's original posting, that he used the MROUND function originally and
had gotten a numerical result from having done so.

Analysis ToolPak, Rick?

When I tried this I got only "#NAME?"

I'm not sure why you would have gotten that error... the formula I
posted works fine in XL2003 and XL2007.
