    Using the CEILING FUNCTION

    Hello all,

    Is it possible to force a value of 0 up to a multiple?

    I have a formula with a result of 0 that I need forced up to multiple of 10.

    =max(10, ceiling(whatever, 10))

    Should that be:

    =max(0, ceiling(whatever, 10))

    Thank you for the help!

    I just left it as this for now =max((formula), 10)

    It seems to be working because if the formula result is below 10, the result has to be forced up to 10 and cannot be rounded down to 0
