I am trying to nest the calculation of the gross up and the rounding,
following is an example as well as the formula that I am receiving the error
on, also I do not know why my final rounded figure did not round up to 34K?

Example:

Payment Gross Up Sum Rounded
32,549.00 976.47 33,525.47 30,000.00

=SUM(B2*3%,ROUND(B2,1-LEN(INT(B2))))

Why are you starting a new thread? Did you look at the answer in the previous
one?

Sorry....I was trying to give a better description of my problem, I provided
a copy of mu formula to show what I am trying to accomplish.

The further description clarified little. from what I can see

A2 B2 C2
32,549.00+976.47= 33,525.47

If that's correct then what do you want to do with C2? Always round Up?
Down? Nearest 1000? or is it none of those?

in "C2" I would like onenested formula that takes A2 times 3%, then that sum
is then rounded to nearest ten thousands

Maybe this

=ROUND((A2*1.03)/1000,0)*1000

I'm sure you mean rounded to nearest 1000 not 10000

You didn't ask the formula to round the final result. Assuming that your
32549 is what is in B2, you have asked for that to be rounded to -4 places
(1 significant figure), so that gave 30000. You've added that to 3% of
32549, so the answer would be 30967.47.

If you wanted to do something entirely different, and add B2*3% to B2, then
round that result to *two* significant figures, it would be
=ROUND(B2+B2*3%,2-LEN(INT(B2))) or
=ROUND(SUM(B2,B2*3%),2-LEN(INT(B2)))
