Rounding to 5 cents

Is there a formula to round to the nearest five cents?

By Neale Blackwood, 22 Jun 09

You can use the ROUND function to do it. If the number is in cell A1, this formula will work:

=0.05 * ROUND(A1/0.05,0)

 Example:

articleid_10_roundingtofivecents_400_02

This formula rounds 2.5 cents and 7.5 cents up to the nearest 5 cents.

This formula will work to round to any number. Just replace both 0.05’s in the formula with the number you want to round to.
