I add a series of prices. Regardless of the last digit in the sum, I want to
make the digit a 9. For example, the calculated sum of prices is $5.00. I
want $5.09 displayed. If the sum is $5.87, I want $5.89 displayed. Help,
please.

Try this:

=IF(SUM(A1:A10),CEILING(SUM(A1:A10)+0.01,0.1)-0.01,"")

There are several unspecified parameters in your request.

If there will always be at least one value, and if the SUM will always be a
positive number, then a simple function would be:

=INT(SUM(A1:A10)*10)/10+0.09

If there are no entries, then the original formula will give $0.09,

=IF(COUNT(rng)=0,"",INT(SUM(rng)*10)/10+0.09)
will give a blank cell, or:

=IF(COUNT(rng)=0,0,INT(SUM(rng)*10)/10+0.09)
will give a zero.

If the SUM might be negative, then:

=INT(SUM(rng)*10)/10+0.09*SIGN(SUM(rng))

will not only always end with a "9", but it will also display a 0 if there are
no entries (or if the sum is zero). If that's not what you want, you might
need to wrap it in one of the IF statements.

I would point out that your function will return a NULL string if there are no
entries in the range; and will also return a NULL string if the SUM of the
entries is zero.

That may or may not be appropriate for this poster.

Yes, I know!

Assuming that the sum is in A20, I believe this formula would work:
=FLOOR(A20,.1)+.09

The FLOOR function chops off any pennies or nickels, and the +.09
adds the ending 9 that you want.
