halving contents of a cell
How do I ask Excel to half the contents of a cell and then round the answer
up?? For instance, if I have 17 in a cell, I want it to half the 17 and then round the answer up to 9 instead of returning 8.5. Urgent help please.............!! Thank you. Louise |

If you have the analysis tool pack add in loaded, you can use
=CEILING((A1/2),1) If you don't have the tool pack installed: =-INT(-(A1/2)) "Louise" wrote: How do I ask Excel to half the contents of a cell and then round the answer up??

The Round(A1/2,0) method will work with whole numbers only. If your data is
14.6, your method will result in 7, which is rounded down instead of up. "Louise" wrote: Done it!!! Doh!! Divide the cell by 2 and round it by 0.......... Had a blonde moment!! |

halving contents of a cell
Hi
As it happens, all my numbers were whole numbers so it worked fine but thanks very much for your answer below - I will keep this for future reference, just in case they're not always whole numbers.
