Default Formula help?

Relatively new to Excel. Need to multiply the currency value in column A by
2. If sum is less than 0.50 round to 0.50 otherwise display sum in colum B.

Thank you, Jerry

PS: Would the latest version in Excel make it easier to write formulas
through the use of some type of wizard? I don't use Excel often, thus
learning and retaining formulas, etc... is not easy.

In B1 put the formula
=MIN(0.5,2*A1)
Copy this formula down column B as far as your data goes in column A.
