    Custom formatting to round to TENS

    I need to take a column of numbers and round them to the nearest 10. This is for a worksheet that will go out to clients, and we aren't allowed to leave functions (such as =mround(5556.54645645656, 10)) in place. However, the only alternative is to just type over that long number with "5560", which eats the original number and isn't desirable either.

    Therefore, I have come to look at custom formatting. The closest thing I have found is this thread:

    But that's to thousands, which doesn't help me.

    Any suggestions? Please help!!!

    Thanks,

    -A.

    You're not going to be able to use formatting to make numbers appear rounded to the nearest 10; I don't think you have an option other than a formula, Amanda. You could hide the column in which the unrounded number appears.

    Not sure why you would want to do this at all, though.

    Thanks

    Re: Custom formatting to round to TENS

    can't you just use a formula and then cut all and paste as values?
    When I say semicolon, u say comma!

    I can, but that will eat the original numbers.

    Re: Custom formatting to round to TENS

    How about using a formula that first copies all numbers but the last one, and then rounds the last number?
    e.g. you have 1453, the first formula copies 145, the second formula says "if the last number (3) is smaller than 5, make it 0", and the third formula puts the first two back together

    I ended up doing this:

    Which isn't as efficient as I was hoping, but it will get the job done.

    Thanks for all y'all's help.
