My formula calculates the time 2 hours from now and I need it to round up to
the next hour:

=NOW()+TIME(2,0,0)

I tried a few things but they didn't work!

The CEILING function should do what you want.

Try this:

=CEILING(NOW()+TIME(2,,),TIME(1,,))


--ron

And if one doesn't want to include all days since 1900 one could use

=CEILING(MOD(NOW(),1)+TIME(2,,),TIME(1,,))

or even

=CEILING(MOD(NOW(),1)+2/24,1/24)

Problem solved, didn't seem to need to use the mod bit, but will keep in mind
just in case!

Thanks guys!
