I use this formula to come up with the prices for my retail products.

A1 cost of product
B1 percent markup, 100%
C1 =MROUND(A1*(1+(B1)),5) this would give me my price

I have been doubling my cost then rounding that to the nearest
multiple of 5 to come up with my price.
What I would like to do is instead of rounding to nearest multiple of 5
is round the number up to the next number that ends with a 9.

Example 176 round up to 179
173 round up to 179
161 round up to 169

Is there a way to do this in excel?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

try:
=ROUNDUP(A1*(1+B1)/10,0)*10-1

Dear stumjumper, Good Afternoon.

Try this one:
C1 -- =IF((A1*(1+(B1)))(MROUND(A1*(1+(B1)),10)),(MROUND (A1*(1+(B1)),10))+9,(A1*(1+(B1))))

Tell me if it worked for you.

Have a nice day.

hi,

=--(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-1)&9)

To ROUNDUP to the next highest number ending in 9, you can use:

=ROUNDUP(A1+1,-1)-1
where A1 contains the number you want to roundup.

or, in your case, if A1 contains your cost, and you are first marking it up 100%, you might consider:

=ROUNDUP(A1*2+1,-1)-1

If the markup is 100%

you may also have greater flexibility with this one

=--((LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-1)*10)+9)
