Default ROUNDING RESULT OF CALCULATION UP OR DOWN

Thanks David and others.

I overcame my problem, by adding an extra row, which used the ROUND function
with a reference to the result in the cells where I was having problems
displaying the result that I expected to see.

Regards

Perhaps I've misunderstood your question, but please go back and read Excel
help again.

ROUNDDOWN rounds down.
ROUNDUP rounds up.
ROUND rounds to the nearest.

The help topic "Round a number" gives detailed hints for a variety of
different rounding methods (including rounding to the nearest). For each
function in Excel help there is usually a "See also" link for similar and
related topics, and they usually give examples of the function in operation.

Hi David,

In my question, I gave two possibilities, above and below .5
ROUND gives me one or the other and I am greedy and want excel to look at
the answer and decide which way to go up or down.
If I have missed something in EXCEL help on the subject of ROUND, please
can
you point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Why not try typing the word ROUND into Excel help, and see what it tells
you?

Is there a formula that will do the following;
The result of a formula can be a whole number plus two decimal places,
and
I
want a row of data to do the following - If the answer is between .00
and
.49
then round down, and if it is between .50 and .99 round up. I can do
each
individually, but not both automatically in the same formula.
