Rounding to nearest half
Hello,
I recieve data, and then have to round the data to the nearest half day (so 1 day, 1.5 days, then 2 days, etc.). How do this? I know how to round to one decimal place, but the I have to round it up and down myself!
Thanks!
RE: Rounding to nearest half
Hi Sophie
Great question! You are right in thinking ROUND won't do what you need. To round to half days you can use a different function called MROUND.
Here's an example to see how it works:
A B
Days To half days Formula
1.7 1.5 =MROUND(A2,0.5)
1.2 1.0 (copy down)
5.8 6.0
7.3 7.5
8.9 9.0
If you want to round to quarter days then use 0.25 rather than 0.5 as the multiple.
Does that work in your case or do you need 1.7 to change to 2.0 days rather than 1.5 days?
