How do I format cells to round up?
I want to format a cell or column in a worksheet to always round up the value
to the nearest integer. My skills here are limited so please reply in "layman's" terms. |

How do I format cells to round up?
Have you tried using the =ROUNDUP() function? You're supposed to put the
number and then the number of decimal places in the parenthesis, but you can list a cell value for number like A1 instead. If you want a whole integer just put a 0 like this: =ROUNDUP(A1,0) This will take whatever number is in A1 and round it up every time.

I did that but it keeps giving me the circular reference error. The values
that appear in the cell are being entered as the result of a formula. "CorporateQAinTX" wrote: Have you tried using the =ROUNDUP() function?

How do I format cells to round up?
If you want to set each cell up without any outside functions, I think you'll
need to try some VBA codes or macros. I'm not that proficient with them to even know that that would work. Any time you write a function that refers to the cell it's in you're going to get a circular error. My suggestion would be to put the formula into the cell right of an input cell. Then go to Format Cells < Security and lock it. When you've completed the sheet as far as you want it, you can protect the sheet (Tools<Protect Sheet) and the formula can't be erased. When you protect it, uncheck everything listed except choose unlocked cells. Other than that the default is to round normally.

How do I format cells to round up?
Thanks. I don't think I'll be able to write a function but I thought I might
be able to use the Format<Cells<Number<Custom route to get it done. Doesn't sound like I can do that either.

How do I format cells to round up?
Have you read Dave's suggestion?
Perhaps you didn't understand it! You take your existing formula, the one that generates the number, and wrap it in the Roundup() function. Say your formula is in A1, and it looks like this: =Sum(C1:C10) You revise it to this: =Roundup(Sum(C1:C10),0) So, if you can devise a formula, you can easily revise it, to incorporate the Roundup() function. -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Tom" wrote in message ...
