I'm working in Excel 2003 - VBA.

OldRate is a variable whose value comes from user input into a cell.
OldRate=Range("A1")

I am multiplying that variable by 1.075 and need to round up the result to
two decimal places.
NewRate=Application.Worksheetfunction.Round(OldRat e * 1.075, 2)

Then I need to multiply that rounded result by .25 and round it up to two
decimal places.
AdjustedNewRate=Application.Worksheetfunction.Roun d(NewRate * .25, 2)

If $27.11 is the old rate, I would expect that $27.11 * 1.075 = $29.14
(rounded).
And $29.14 * .25 = $7.29 (rounded).

However, I am getting $7.28 in VBA.

How do I get VBA to give me $7.29?

TIA.

Use worksheetfunction.ceiling to round up. Round rounds to the nearest not up.

Hi Charles,
I don't want to round everything up the next hundreth. For example, I want
to round 7.144 to 7.14 and 7.145 to 7.15. Ceiling doesn't look like the way
to get there.

OldRate = 27.11
NewRate = Application.WorksheetFunction.Round(OldRate * 1.075, 2)
NewRate = Application.WorksheetFunction.Round(NewRate * 0.25, 2)

If I put the above code in a VBA module, I get 7.28 and I want 7.29.

I get 7.29 as my result from using your information. Try to use the
RoundUp() function instead perhaps??

Hi Zach,

If you put this code in a module, don't you get 7.28?

OldRate = 27.11
NewRate = Application.WorksheetFunction.Round(OldRate * 1.075, 2)
NewRate = Application.WorksheetFunction.Round(NewRate * 0.25, 2)

When I used your exact, I got 7.29 but when I did it your way with vba, I
got 7.28 but this one liner=7.29

MsgBox Round(Range("a1") * 1.075 * 0.25, 2)

Hi Ken,

Dim your variables as Double, not Single

this gives me 7.29
Option Explicit
Dim newrate As Double, oldrate As Double
Sub test()
oldrate = 27.11
newrate = _
Application.WorksheetFunction.Round(Application.Wo rksheetFunction.Round(oldrate
_
* 1.075, 2) * 0.25, 2)
Debug.Print newrate
End Sub
