Default modified CEILING function??

Hi There,
I know that the CEILING function can provide the ability to round up in
multiples, so, for example to the nearest 5p, however, whenever I've tried to
do this for the nearest 9p, then it doesn't seem to work. The first value is
usually ok, but then successive answers usually end in 8, then 7, then 6, etc.

Is there a way to choose a value that you want a calculation to end in (for
example the nearest 9p, so you get values of 9, 19, 29, etc)?

Then what I'd like to be able to do is if the value is 1 - 5 the answer ends
in a 5, for 6(or 5.1) to 9 the answer is 9 & then 0 is 0 ('cos if I want 0 to
be a 9, I can always take 1 away - I know how to do that!!)

Cheers
