Round a number up to nearest multiple in Excel

by

This tutorials shows how to Round a number up to nearest multiple in Excel.

If you need to round a number up to the nearest specified multiple (i.e. round a number up to the nearest dollar, up to the nearest $.25, up to the nearest multiple of 5, etc.) you can use the CEILING function.

Worked Example:   FLOOR function: Description, Usage, Syntax, Examples and Explanation

Formula

=CEILING(number,multiple)

Explanation

In the example, the formula in cell D6 is

=CEILING(B6,C6)

This tells Excel to take the value in B6 ($33.39 ) and round it to the nearest multiple of the value in C6 (5). The result is $35.00, since 35 is the next multiple of 5 after 33.39. In cell D10, we are rounding the same number, 33.39 up to the nearest multiple of 1 and get 34.00.

Worked Example:   Round time to nearest 15 minutes in Excel

You can use CEILING to round prices, times, instrument readings or any other numeric value.

Worked Example:   How to randomly assign people to groups in Excel

Note that CEILING rounds up using the multiple supplied. You can use the MROUND function to round to the nearest multiple and the FLOOR function to round down to the nearest multiple.
