MROUND
I am trying to use the MROUND function to round to the nearest quarter a
calculated cell. The cells are properly formated to for numbers however whenever I type in the formula "=MROUND(A1,0.25)" however rather than coming back with the correct number it comes back with "#NAME?". Also, the formula is changed to to lower case "=mround(A1,0.25)". Testing the formula it shows that Excel 2003 does not recognize "MROUND". Has anyone out there experienced this and knows how to correct it? I know the formula is correct and I have reformated a number of times already, i have shut the program down and then the computer and that hasn't solved it either. Any suggestions? Thanks! Rob |

MROUND
As an alternative to adding the Analysis Toolpack you can round to the
nearest 0.25 without using mround. This will allow you and others to round to the nearest value without worrying about installing Addins... =round(A1/0.25, 0) * 0.25 -- HTH...

Click on Help Excel Help Search For MROUND function MROUND Worksheet Function. Also, the formula is changed to to lower case "=mround(A1,0.25)". Upper and lower case names are not distinctive in Excel. |
