    How to round up parts of a week to whole weeks

    Excel 2010
    Happy New Year to all,
    I have updated an example page.
    I am trying to help a charity who hire out mobility scooters and wheelchairs but I'm having trouble doing it.
    They could be hired from as little as one day but could be out for 6 months or a year
    They charge a fixed fee of £5 for each week or part of a week, so if it is 7 days (one week) it is £5 and if it is 8 days it is £10
    I deduct the start date from the end date which gves the days and then try to convert that to weeks but it isn't working out too well. I would like 9 days for instance to = 1 week 2 days, but I can only get 1.29.
    The next problem is getting the weekly (or part weekly) fee of £5 to work. for nine days it should be £10. Is there a way of rounding up the amount of days to make an extra week.

    Thank you

    Hi nje,

    You need the MOD function somewhere to determine how many days till a new week occurs. Something like:

    =(7-MOD(D4-C4,7))+(D4-C4)

    See if that helps. If not then break the number of weeks into a cell by itself and the number of days into a separate cell/column.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Thank you both for your responses and help, I will need to look at it a bit more, but my problem seems to be solved
    Could I just clarify with you sbehera, Are the formulas in N O & P needed as part of the solution ?

    Hi,

    =ROUNDDOWN((D4-C4)/7,0)+IF(MOD(C4-D4,7)>0,1,0)

    Please use this formula in column F......one small correction..sory for the Inconvenience caused......

    Why not use:
    =ROUNDUP((D4-C4)/7,0)

    Here, C4 is the start date and D4 is the end date

    I take it then, that there are a few solutions to this problem. I appreciate all your replies, but some of it has gone well over my head.
    Thank you for your assitance

    Re: How to round up parts of a week to whole weeks

    Sorry but I'm back again.
    There seems to be a problem with the subtraction of the dates. I have attached another copy. If you take a look at it, you will see what I mean when it deducts one date from the other.
    Thanks

    Hi nje

    Glad your sorted and thanks for the feed back.
    I couldn't see the advantage of putting text in column E, you cant do a lot with it!
