What is the easiest way to be able to round, as normal, except to round down
if the answer is .5, 1.5, 2.5 etc?

So for example, if I want to take 90% and 10% of 5, using the normal ROUND
function I would get 5 and 1 for a total of 6 which is greater than the
whole. To fix this I'd like to have one of the formulas round down if the
answer ends in .5 (but not .6, for example). Thoughts?

Thanks for the help

use = roundup(cell*.9,0) use rounddown(cell*.1,0) or use round(cell,0)

the 0 after the , tells it to round to no decimal places

Subtract 0.01 from the initial number. Now it's 1.49 instead of 1.5 and will
round down.
