Default rounding question

Hi:

I need the formula that will round a number from one cell to the next number
divisible by 12 (eg if cell A1 has 25 typed into it, cell A2 will come up
with 36). The formula must round up (not to the nearest).

Thanks.

Please don't post the same message under different subject lines. It
only tends to fragment any answers you get, and potentially wastes the
time of those answering questions that have already been answered.

Hi

=CEILING(A1,12)

just for reference sake to round down to the nearest number divisible by 12
use
=FLOOR(A1,12)


Cheers
