I am using:

=IF(P53M53/0.85,P53,"=ceiling(P53,0.05)")

if I copy and paste down, ceiling(p53,0.05) doesn't change to p54, p55, p56
etc... what do i need to do to make this happen?

Hi,

You don't need the quotes or the = sign

=IF(P53M53/0.85,P53,CEILING(P53,0.05))

Thanks Mike,

One more question for you, if p53=2.35 but is not m53/.85, the if command
is still answering 2.35 since it ends in .05. How can I get it to go up to
2.40?

Maybe

=IF(P53M53/0.85,P53,CEILING(P53,0.1))

but i need it to round up to the nearest .05, say if p53 was 2.30 but not
m53/.85 then i would need it to equal 2.35

Hi,

I'm confused

M53 =1
P53=2.35
What answer do you expect?

M53=999
P53 =2.35
What answer do you expect?

actually this if command isn't working... if p53 is NOT greater than
m53/.85, then i am not getting the NUMBER ceiling(p53,.0.05) I am getting the
text "ceiling(p53,0.05)"

how can i get the false result to =ceiling(p53,0.05)??

Tarabull,

Mike H has the answer to that. You are returning the string
=ceiling(P53,0.05) and not the result of it. Basically, Mike stated, that
your formula should be
=IF(P53M53/0.85,P53,CEILING(P53,0.05))

You *asked* for the text string.
That's what the quote marks do in the formula.

If you don't want it as a text string, don't put it inside quote marks. You
don't need the equals sign either.
