I don't get the same results as you are getting. 1625 is staying at 1625 and
1630 is staying at 1630, neither is rounding up. I think it is the D8/0.67, I think that has a small increment in it which makes a number that looks like 1625 actually be something like 16.000001 ort so, which will go up. Try this (getting ugly) version =CEILING(ROUND(D8/0.67,0),5)-(MOD(CEILING(ROUND(D8/0.67,0),5),10)=0) -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Angie33" wrote in message ... Hi Bob, Need your help one more time. I tried it out on a few numbers and it worked but I need to tweek it. A number which ends with a "5" like "1555" rounds up to 1559, I need it to stay the same, because I need numbers to end with 5 or 9, therefore no change would be required for 1555. Also, I noticed that the numbers that ended with a "0" like "1630" actually rounded up to 1635. How would I alter the formula so that anything ending with a "0" would round down to "29" instead of up to "35"? -- Angie33 "Bob Phillips" wrote: I'll give it a shot at explaining it. if 1627 were to round up to 1630, it would have been easy, just =CEILING(A1,5) I used this as the basis of the solution, but then tested as to when the result of that was exactly divisible by 10 (MOD(CEILING(A1,5),10)=0). Thus any number thatn rounds up to a multiple of 10 passes this test, so by just subtracting it -(MOD(CEILING(A1,5),10)=0), which takes one away. SO anything that is a multiple of 10 when rounded up to the nearest 5 gets 1 taken away,. I included the test for the number being divisible by 10 without rounding up to the nearest 5 (MOD(A1,10)<0) so that numbers that started as multiples of 10, 1630 etc., didn't get changed to 1629. So 1628 round to 1629, as does 1629, but 1630 stays at 1630, 1631 rounds to 1635. The AND is just to combine both tests and return a single TRUE/FALSE result which the - will negate (-1 or -0). As for the second bit, I think you just need to change all instances of A10 in my formula to D8/0.67. -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Angie33" wrote in message ... Bob, I tried it and it worked, but to be honest with you I really don't understand what or how it is working can you explain for me. This formula is a bit advanced for me and I would really like to understand it so I can use it on a large spreadsheet. Also is there anyway to combine the formula you gave me with the one simple one that I had initially "=D8/0.67". Bob you are great!! -- Angie33 "Bob Phillips" wrote: =CEILING(A10,5)-(AND(MOD(A10,10)<0,MOD(CEILING(A10,5),10)=0)) -- HTH Bob Phillips (replace somewhere in email address with gmail if mailing direct) "Angie33" wrote in message ... Does anyone know how to use the Round Function or the Ceiling function to round up to a specific number? Example: I have the number 1288 in D8 and I have a formula in E8 which says "=D8/0.67", the result is 1922. But I would like "1922" to round up to "1925". Had it been "1927", I would want it to round up to 1929. Can anyone tell me how to do this? -- Angie33 |
