Hi,

if total hours number is in [A1], then try this:

1) for normal rounding

=ROUND(A1/8/0.25,0)*0.25

2) for rounding up (which is what your example suggests)

=ROUNDUP(A1/8/0.25,0)*0.25
=CEILING(A1/8/0.25,1)*0.25

3) for rounding down

=ROUNDDOWN(A1/8/0.25,0)*0.25
=INT(A1/8/0.25)*0.25
=TRUNC(A1/8/0.25)*0.25
=FLOOR(A1/8/0.25,1)*0.25

you can also use the MROUND function, which is part of the ATP (Analysis
ToolPack), but I never recommend those formulas for compatipility reasons.

Regards,
KL
