Default I need a %age increase formula that rounds up to the nearest $10

I need to increase some prices by 4.5% and want them to round up/down to the
nearest $10. For example: $2750 * 4.5% = $2873.75. I know how to knock out
the decimal point, but how can I make the formula round the price up/down to
the nearest $10, in this case, $2870.

Thanks

=MROUND(A1*(1+4.5%),10)

MROUND is an Analysis Toolpak function. If it is not available:
ToolsAdd-ins, check Analysis Toolpak

MRound will round up or down. It appears that they want to round up
only. I'd suggest:
=ceiling(A1*(1+4.5%),10)

Ceiling rounds up to the nearest interval. There is a floor function
that does the same thing only rounds down.

Ahh...yes, I see that now. Stupid Google groups not having the
original post in the thread. I only saw your reply and misinterpreted
what the OP was looking for.
