 Posted: Wed Dec 10, 2008 4:38 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Rounding question |
 |
|
Hey, guys, I searched through threads and couldn't find the answer I was looking for - maybe I was using the wrong criteria.
Lets say i have a cell with a value of 276. Is it possibly to make that round it up to the next hundred (300) automatically?
Thanks.[/b]

TeacupofDoom:
Just to add to the example David gave above . . . according to the Calc Help for the ROUND function:
| Calc Help: ROUND function wrote: | ROUND
Rounds a number to a certain number of decimal places.
Syntax
ROUND(Number; Count)
Returns Number rounded to Count decimal places. If Count is omitted or zero, the function rounds to the nearest integer. If Count is negative, the function rounds to the nearest 10, 100, 1000, etc.
This function rounds to the nearest number. See ROUNDDOWN and ROUNDUP for alternatives.
Example
=ROUND(2.348;2) returns 2.35
=ROUND(-32.4834;3) returns -32.483. Change the cell format to see all decimals.
=ROUND(2.348;0) returns 2.
=ROUND(2.5) returns 3.
=ROUND(987.65;-2) returns 1000. |
Therefore, you might consider:
I hope this helps, please be sure to let me / us know.

As well as ROUND( ) which rounds up or down (whichever is nearest) for the stated number of decimal places, there are:
ROUNDUP( )
ROUNDDOWN( )
both to stated number of decimal places, and also
CEILING( )
FLOOR( )
which work in any size steps, e.g. CEILING(75;20) gives 80, the next highest multiple of 20,and FLOOR(20;7) gives 14, the next lowest multiple of 7. |

I hadn't realised that the function would work that way. I'll check further into it.
