ROOUNDUP - to nearest 500 ???
I can round a number up to the next digit, the next ten or the next 100 or
the next 1000 ... but not to the next 500 .... in a spreadsheet in use for estimating quotes for heating installations - anyone any ideas? (Practical application is:- clips for holding underfloor heating pipe in place - 1 per meter, but they come in boxes of 500, so if there is 2310 meters of pipe going to a job, that needs 5 boxes of 500 ... ) |

Have a look at the CEILING function.
Hope this helps.
