Set a range of cells for ROUNDUP
I don't use Excel very often, so this is probably a dumb question, but...
I want to set a range of cells (B88:B88, to be exact) so that the calculated value is rounded up to the next integer. Can someone explain how to do that--if, indeed I can. Thanks |

Set a range of cells for ROUNDUP
Oops--meant to say B8:B88. It's because I'm not so good at those picky
little details that I don't use Excel very often! Sorry. "Richard" wrote: I don't use Excel very often, so this is probably a dumb question, but...

Set a range of cells for ROUNDUP
Use the Int function or roundup, rounddown functions for a single cell. Not
sure what you are doing with a range of cells, summing them? Your range of B88:B88 is only a single cell. eg =Int(B88) "Richard" wrote: I don't use Excel very often, so this is probably a dumb question, but...

Set a range of cells for ROUNDUP
Thanks for your post.
What I'm trying to do is put a formula in a cell, but I want the result of the formula to be rounded up to the next integer. To be more specific: The number of people on a tour I'm leading is in A4; and, for example, I want B10 to show the number of taxi's I'll need if each taxi can hold no more than four people, so 5 people would require two taxis. The first question is, can I do ROUNDUP on one cell; the second question, can I have a range of cells--B8:B88--do the same thing without setting each cell individually? Thanks for any help you can give. Richard "Ian Grega" wrote: Use the Int function or roundup, rounddown functions for a single cell. Not sure what you are doing with a range of cells, summing them?

Set a range of cells for ROUNDUP
Try this:
A4 = some number, say, 14 If a taxi will hold 4 people: =CEILING(A4/4,1) Returns: 4 Biff "Richard" wrote in message ... Thanks for your post.

Set a range of cells for ROUNDUP
In A4: 5
In B10: =ROUNDUP(A4/4,0) If you have range of cells then copy down "Richard" wrote: Thanks for your post.

Set a range of cells for ROUNDUP
Thanks a lot for your tip. It does exactly what I wanted to do.
