Round function
 

Hi,

How can I round a number with increment of 0.5 ? For e.g. 0.1 will be equal
to 0.5, 1.1 will be equal to 1.5, 1.5 will be equal to 2.0 etc.

Thanks.

Normal rounding up to 0.5 would leave 1.5=1.5.

So to do what you describe, you could add a very small amount to your values.
This will also cause 2.0--2.5

=CEILING(A8+(10^-10),0.5)

=CEILING(A1,0.5)

But 1.5 stays as 1.5, it has already hit it's ceiling.

Gian:

Am I missing something or can't you just use the following formula:

=INT(A1*2+1)/2
