Is it possible to 'round' a time to the next nearest 15min interval?
As an example in cell A1 I have a value that returns 2:07 PM (its formated as h:mm AM/PM), but in B1 I wish to translate this to the nearest 15min interval in an hour which is 2:15 PM, if the value in A1 was 5:39 PM I would want to show 5:45 PM in B1 etc etc Any guidance appreciated |

Thanks for your help, it certainly is nearly there and does round to the nearest 15mins. But I'm looking to get the nearest 'next' 15min. Sounds confusing but say if E8 showed 8:02 PM I'd want my formula to return 8:15 PM and not 8:00 PM But a smart formula you have given nonetheless Thanks "Franz Verga" wrote in message ...

One small thing I've noticed is that when my time is exactly on the Qtr hour, say 13:15 this also rounds to the next 15 i.e. 13:30. Is there a way to leave these as 13:15? Just a note if it is 15:31, then this should ound to 15:45 - as it does with your existing formula I just can't tweak your formula to the correct syntax Thanks "Franz Verga" wrote in message ...

Hi John,
try with this new formula: =IF((A45+0.5/60/24)-(ROUND(A45/(15/60/24),1/60/24)*15/60/24)0,(ROUND(A45/(15/60/24),1/60/24)*15/60/24)+15/60/24,(ROUND(A45/(15/60/24),1/60/24)*15/60/24)) I replaced MROUND with ROUND for two reasons: ROUND is more flexible then MROUND and also becasuse ROUND is an Excel standard function, while MROUND is an ATP one. I plaied a little bit with the formula above and thikshold solve your problem.

Yes, you're right, but for me this is the first time "playing" with time... To round up a time in A1 to the next 15 minute increment =CEILING(A1,"00:15") format as time But in this way yo rouund 13:15 to 13:15, while the OP requested to round 13:15 to 13:30 and so on, so I think the smaller formula should be: =CEILING(A1+"0.01","0.15") -- Ciao Franz Verga from Italy |
