Default ceiling

Assuming 15 and 25,

=CEILING(A1,5)-(MOD(CEILING(A1,5),10)=0)+(MOD(A1,10)=0)*6

Dala,

What should 15, 25 become, 15 or 19, 25 or 29?

This gave me results of *5 and *0, not *5 and *9 as wanted.
Any other options?

=(INT(A1/5)+1)*5 where A1 contains your value

or =(INT(A1/$b$1)+1)*$b$1 where $b$1 will contain your rounding factor.

Hi.

I found this in a post when searching.
The solution was provided by Bob Phillips back in 2006.

=CEILING(A10,5)-(AND(MOD(A10,10)<0,MOD(CEILING(A10,5),10)=0))

What it does, is to round up to a 5, 9 or 0, depending on the data.
This was exactly what was needed for that post in 2006.
Example
11 = 15
14 = 15
16 = 19
18 = 19
19 = 19
20 = 20
21 = 25

I need the same thing, but not when it comes to *0 = *0

What I need is
11 = 15
14 = 15
16 = 19
18 = 19
19 = 19
20 = 25
21 = 25

Bobs explanation can be found at

Is it possible that someone could modify this formula, or perhaps
suggest
another one for me?
I seem to have no luck.

Grateful for any help!
