I think both answer were the same, but worded a little differently.

No, they don't work the same.

E3 = 20

E3*50%+E3 (or E3*1.5) = 30

One formula returns 29.99 and the other returns 30.49.

Is the same as: E3*1.5

I need it to round up (.01 - .48) to .49

What if E3*1.5 = a whole number like 150?

Maybe this:

=CEILING(E3*1.5+0.01,0.5)-0.01

0 to 0.49 rounds to 0.49
0.5 to 0.99 rounds to 0.99

I am a novice, but I think this is close to what I'm trying to acheive.
I
have a column of numbers that I need to double whose sum is then added
to
itself. Then I need it to round up (.01 - .48) to .49, or (.50 to .98)
to
.99. I started with =SUMPRODUCT(E3*50%+E3) but got confused as to how I
would
apply the "round" function.
