How do I round a number to the nearest .49 in a cell that has a fo
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. |

How do I round a number to the nearest .49 in a cell that has afo
Try this around your SP formula:
=CEILING( ... ,0.5) - 0.01 i.e. round it up in increments to the nearest 0.5 and then subtract 0.01 from that. Hope this helps.

E3*50%+E3
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 -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Butrcup624" wrote in message ...

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. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Butrcup624" wrote in message ...
