Does anyone know how I can round a number up to a specific set of
numbers.

I need to round a number to the nearest of the following numbers:
250
350
450
550
650
750
850
950
1050
1150
1250
...
...
etc

The numbers above are in a range B3:AC3.

Eg 1: 260 becomes 350
Eg 2: 700 becomes 750

Any ideas?

Hi

Try something like this, with your value in A2
=HLOOKUP(A2+90,B3:AC3,1,TRUE)

Hope this helps.

That almost had it Andy. Only problem is: what if the number is 250.1.
I need that to be rounded up to 350 because it is greater than 250.

Your formular in that case would be looking up 250.1+90 = 349.1. So it
would still drop down to 250.

Any more ideas?

Brad

Hi

Change the A2+90 to A2+99.9999 or similar.
Sorry, I didn't realise you'd be using decimals.

Thanks Andy,

I think that's done it. Much appreciated.

With 1250,1150...250 in A1:A11 (sorted descending) and your number in B1:

=INDEX(A1:A11,MATCH(B1,A1:A11,-1))

Possibly too late now but does:

=CEILING(A1-50,100)+50

do what you want?
