Default HOW DO I ROUNDUP A RESULT OF A FORMULA TO NEAREST WHOLE NUMBER

for example, my formula in the cell is =(c18/15)
if the result of the formula is 60.2, the cell displays 60 but i want it to
round UP to the nearest whole number. do i have to add to that formula the
end result?

Or =ROUNDUP(C18/15,0)
You'll find that the CEILING formula will fail if C18 is negative.
