To divide and round up a number in Excel, you can use the `CEILING` function. Here's how you can modify your formula to achieve the desired result:
- Start by typing your original formula in a cell, for example, .
- To round up the result to the nearest whole number, wrap the formula in the function. The syntax for the function is
Code:
CEILING(number, significance)
, where is the value you want to round up and is the multiple to which you want to round up. In this case, we want to round up to the nearest whole number, so we'll use as the significance. The modified formula will look like this: . - Press Enter to calculate the result. The formula will divide the value in cell C5 by 4, then round up the result to the nearest whole number.
For example, if the value in cell C5 is 69, the formula
will return 18, which is the result of dividing 69 by 4 and rounding up to the nearest whole number.
