Australian currency question...
Apologies if this has been asked and answered, I tried searching but
could not find an answer. Also, apologies if this is the wrong group, it seemed like the most appropriate. BACKGROUND Australia has abolished the use of 1¢ and 2¢ coins, but retains products priced to use these amounts - the total amount to be paid is rounded up or down at the end. As an example, an item can be priced at $2.99, which if purchased singly would cost me $3.00. Purchasing two would be $5.98, which would be rounded up to $6.00. Purchasing three would be $8.97, which would be rounded DOWN to $8.95. I need a function that would allow me to enter amounts for individual items as they are priced, but which when totalled will apply the currency rules (as this will be paid in cash). So, for example, I enter amounts of (as an example) 3.42, 6.48, 5.47, 9.29 and 10.11 which would calculate the result as 34.77, but would display it as 34.75 (since it is rounded down). The individual amounts would not be rounded, but would stay as they are, only the total amount would be rounded - although the actual result itself would not be rounded, only what is displayed. Have I made this as clear as mud? :D Any help would be appreciated. ===================== Dave There are 10 types of people, those who understand binary and those who don't. |

Try this:
If your total is in Cell A10, then B10: =ROUND(A10/0.05,0)*0.05 Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron "Dave Proctor" wrote: Apologies if this has been asked and answered, I tried searching but could not find an answer.
