Rounding up based on a decimal value
 

I would like to be able to round a number based on a decimal value. For
example, if the result is 23.7, 23.8, or 23.9, I want the number to round up
to 24. I always want to round up for .7 and higher.
Is there a way to code this?

Rounding up based on a decimal value
 

add 0.3, and rounddown
23.6 would be 23.9 - 23
23.7 would be 24.0 - 24
23.8 would be 24.1 - 24

so if values in a2,a3 etc b2=rounddown(a2+0.3)

Thanks. If the result is .0, .1, .2, .3, .4, .5, or .6, I need the decimal
to stay. If the result is .7, I need it to round up to the nearest integer.
It the result is .8, or .9, I need it to round to .1 or .2.

That's not what you said the first time :)

a2 has value
b2 = if((int(a2)-a2)<0.7,a2,a2+0.3)

Rounding up based on a decimal value
 

I think you meant =IF((A2-INT(A2))<0.7,A2,A2+0.3) which presumes that A20.

Also, You need to be a bit more careful about the impact of finite precision
binary representations. For instance, if A2 contains 8.7, then
((A2-INT(A2))<0.7 is TRUE.

Rounding up based on a decimal value
 

Thanks to both of you for your help. Using Steve's response, I was able to
figure out Jerry's solution yesterday. I also changed the 0.7 to <0.6666 and
it works.
Thanks again.

Ta for the feedback.

Excel is pretty accurate, but all floating point stuff needs care.

If 0.6666 covers the data that you are working with thats the best way.
