Neither of these work. Though I thought I'd tried every variation of your suggestion before posting my original message, I'd obviously not tried the first one.

The first yields a value of "#NAME" in the cell. When the second is entered I get a an error message indicating that "there are too few arguments for this function".

Perhaps this has to do with the D3 and E3 cells? These cells contain formulas that yield numerical values rather than hard entered values.

My error - the NAME# is triggered by the unintended space after SUM
which I copied from your post.

To test this out, I just entered a couple of random numbers (27.4 and
83.2) into two cells, and in D3 and E3 I copied these (=A3, and =B3).
With the formula =ROUNDUP((SUM(D3:E3)/31),0) in F3 I get 4.

The second suggested expression was based on the HELP description of
ROUNDUP, which infers the 0 (num_places) can be omitted but doesn't
show whether the "," is still required. I hadn't tested that, and yes
I get that error. It turns out that the comma separator IS required:
=ROUNDUP((SUM(D3:E3)/31),) works for me.

PEDRO,

Thank you so much for your help with this.I apologize for the delay in my response. I have been out of the office for a while. Thank you so much for your help on this. I simply don't know how I missed this. I'd received numerous different error messages before requesting help. As I have had this document open since I began it, I was able to go back through every variation I'd tried and found that in every case I'd installed the space. crazy how its always the smallest errors that hang one up.

You're welcome. I normally stay out of suggesting solutions as there
are real Excel gurus about who know infinitely more than me. I only
popped in because it seemed an easy requirement.
