    Profit - Rounding

    Hi Crew
    This is my first visit
    I am creating a price list so need to add a 30% profit to known costs but want the selling price to always round up to $0.20 ie $10.15 - $10.20 etc.
    Thanks Stephen

    Re: Profit - Rounding

    Hello and Welcome,
    try this: for the basic formula
    =ROUND(number,1)

    However, I would guess since I don't have your numbers based on your spreadsheet that it has to be combined with the following:
    =ROUND(number*1.3,1)

    multiplying by 1.3 which of course represents your 30% profit increase and combining it with ROUND formula will end up with your expected result

    You can use CEILING

    =CEILING(cost*1.3,0.20)

    Re: Profit - Rounding

    Thanks for such a fast reply as my first time a little unsure of what to include so say
    Product cost in A1 ($22.50) and selling in B1 (with 30% added and rounded up $0.20) formula would be??
    Thanks

    Re: Profit - Rounding

    Are you rounding up to nearest multiple of 0.20 (see post #3) or rounding up to nearest integer.20 ?

    Re: Profit - Rounding

    meyero90 - I'm not sure how that fulfils either of the possibilities

    To round up cost + 30% to nearest multiple of 0.20

    =CEILING(A1*1.3,0.2)

    To round up cost + 30% to the next integer.20

    =INT((A1*1.3)-0.21)+1.2

    I am sure but I think that The Animal means when the value is 10.15 to round it up at the 2nd decimal which gives 10.2. But will need confirmation from him.
