Description: Rounds a number to the nearest integer or to the nearest multiple of significance.. For example, if you want to avoid using pennies in your prices and your product is priced at $4.42, use the formula =CEILING(4.42,0.05) to round prices up to the nearest nickel.
Syntax: CEILING(Number, Significance)
Number is the value you want to round.
Significance is the multiple to which you want to round.
Remarks:
Both arguments must be numeric.
Regardless of the sign of Number, a value is rounded up when adjusted away from zero. If Number is an exact multiple of Significance, no rounding occurs.
Number and Significance must have the same signs.
Example:
CEILING(2.5, 1) = 3 [rounds 2.5 up to nearest multiple of 1]
CEILING(-2.5, -2) = -4 [rounds -2.5 up to nearest multiple of -2]
CEILING(-2.5, 2) returns an error, because -2.5 and 2 have different signs!
