Answer: ROUNDUP to nearest 1/16 (in decimals)
Yes, you can use the lookup function to round up a number to the nearest 1/16. Here are the steps:
- In a new column, enter the formula
Code:
=ROUNDUP(A1*16,0)/16
, assuming your number is in cell A1. This will multiply your number by 16, round it up to the nearest whole number, and then divide it by 16 to get the nearest 1/16. - In the next column, enter your list of 1/16 increments in decimals (, , , etc.).
- In a third column, use the VLOOKUP function to find the closest match between the rounded-up number and the list of 1/16 increments. The formula would be
Code:
=VLOOKUP(B1,C1:C4,1,TRUE)
, assuming your rounded-up number is in cell B1 and your list of 1/16 increments is in cells C1:C4. The "TRUE" argument in the formula tells Excel to find an approximate match. - The result in the third column will be the closest 1/16 increment in decimals to your rounded-up number.
