Default Rounding numbers up or down in same formula

And I shoulda written:

=ceiling(round(A1,0)-2,5)

The point is: oh so many people (sigh) see the numbers formatted with
zero dp and think that is the value of the cell, but often it is not.
Based on that assumption, even if the OP's numbers are not integral
values, he probably wants them to be. But he probably wants WYSIWYG
-- hence the ROUND(,0). Just a guess, of course.
