Normally when you round to decimal places, the item after the comma is a
positive: a "2" rounds to hundreths. But when you round on the "other side"
of the decimal, you put it in as negative. -4 will take you to 10,000 place I
believe.

ex:
=ROUND(cell_ref,-4)

And if you want to get really complicated, you can use this:

=IF(RIGHT(A1,4)="0000",A1,A1+(10000-RIGHT(A1,4)))

But I like Aimee's solution better. Love the spelling too. Just like my
daughter.

One way:

=CEILING(A1,10000)
