rounding to nearest hundred dollar in Excel
 

User wants to round up to nearest $100 dollar figure if it's over 50, or down
to nearest $100 figure if it's under 50. For example, if they enter dollar
figure of $1234.00, they want it rounded down to the nearest $100 dollar
amount, which would be $1,200.00. Thanks.

50000? Since you say round up to nearest 100 if over 50 shouldn't 1234 round
up to 1300? Or did you mean 50000?

Regardsless round to nearest 100 is ROUND(x,100) round up is
CEILING(x,100)

so you can set it the way you want by testing the condition

=IF(x50,formula1,formula2

The round function will do this. =ROUND(X,Y)
X is the number (cell reference) you want rounding
Y is the number of decimal places you want it to round to. If you want
something rounded to 3 decimal places, Y would be 3. Y can take
negative values, such as -1, which rounds to the nearest ten and -2,
which rounds to the nearest hundred, which you are after.
Assuming the cell you want rounding is F10, the equation is
=ROUND(F10,-2)
