    Rounding up a decimel number to a whole number

    Hello,

    I would like to round up decimel numbers into whole ones. But, I would like excel to do it this way: if my calculation says that an investment has a return of 13,47% I would like excel to round it up to 15%. Also, if my result is 12,38% I would like excel to round it up to 10%. The thing is, I want it rounded up by 5%. So, if it comes under 12,50% I want 10% and if it comes over 12,50% I would like to round it up to 15% etc...

    Is this possible?

    Based on your examples, you want

    =MROUND(A1, 0.05)

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires

    Actually, I think you need:

    as this will return (from 7.5 to) 12.49 as "10", and 12.5 (to 17.49) as"15", which seems to be what you're looking for.

    Hope this helps.
    Brendan.

    If the cell is formatted as percentage, then 5 correlates to 0.05 so will need 0.05. Hope that helps.

    Re: Rounding up a decimel number to a whole number

    Gunner 14, ChemistB,

    When I was trying this formula out, I had the cell the formula was in formatted as %, but not A1, which is of course why it didn't work out when I tried Chemist's formula. Apologies for any confusion I may have caused.

    The MROUND worked like a charm! Because it was percentage, I had to put in 0,05.

    Many thanks to everyone!

    I'd be glad to, but I can't seem to find the "solved" button?

    Re: Rounding up a decimel number to a whole number

    Hello Gunner14,
    You can use this
    Suppose 12.38 is in B5, & u want 10 in C5
    Formula in C5 =FLOOR(B5+2.5,5)

    I think it should work
    see the file attchd.
