How do I get MROUND to only round up to the next multiple.

I do not wish to get a lower number when rounding to a miltpile of it. I
need to combing the MROUND and ROUNDUP.

Answer: How do I get MROUND to only round up to the next multiple.

Sure, I can help you with that!

To round up to the next multiple using

Code:

MROUND

and

Code:

ROUNDUP

, you can follow these steps:

First, determine the number you want to round up to the next multiple. Let's say it's in cell A1.
Next, determine the multiple you want to round up to. Let's say it's 10.
To use

Code:

MROUND

, you would enter the formula

Code:

"=MROUND(A1,10)"

in a cell. This will round the number in A1 to the nearest multiple of 10.
However, if you want to ensure that the number is always rounded up to the next multiple of 10, you can combine

Code:

MROUND

with

Code:

ROUNDUP

. To do this, enter the formula

Code:

"=ROUNDUP(MROUND(A1,10),0)"

in a cell. This will first round the number in A1 to the nearest multiple of 10 using

Code:

MROUND

, and then round up that result to the next whole number using

Code:

ROUNDUP

.
The "0" in the

Code:

ROUNDUP

formula tells Excel to round up to the nearest whole number. If you want to round up to a different decimal place, you can change the "0" to the number of decimal places you want to round up to.

That's it! This formula will ensure that your number is always rounded up to the next multiple of 10. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Don't use MROUND. Instead of

=MROUND(x,n)

use

=ROUNDUP(x/n,0)*n

If x and n have the same sign you can also use =CEILING(x,n)

=IF(MROUND(A1,x)<=A1,MROUND(A1,x)+x,MROUND(A1,x))

Will round A1 UP to the next number divisible by x.
