Try following function:

=ROUNDUP(B3*2;-3)

where B3 is a reference to a cell with value, which you want to
calculate, -3 means "round to thousands"

I tried the formuma =ROUNDUP(B3*2;-3) insuring B3 cell had a valid
amount but received "The formula contains an error"

Replace the semi-colon with a comma for your version of XL:

=ROUNDUP(B3*2,-3)

Hi pgruening:

The equation contains a small error. Instead of a semicolon use a
comma. Like this:

=ROUNDUP(B3*2,-3)

Good Luck,
Thomas
