    Question Round number to nearest .05

    I really hope someone has the answer to this. I need to round numbers up in a spreadsheet to the nearest .05. For example, I would need to change 1.50 to 1.55 or 1.57 to 1.65. I looked all throught the excel help menu and couldn't find anything.

    Please help

    Rounding up to a multiple

    With
    A1: (a number)

    This formula rounds that value UP to the next number ending in 0.05
    (eg 0.05, 0.15, 0.25, etc)

    Thumbs up Yes

    Yes, that did it. I knew it would be something simple that I just missed. Always is. That worked great.

    Thank you so much for your help.

    Re: Rounding up to a multiple

    Hi, I saw this as a possible solution to what I was doing with rounding up to the next .05 HOWEVER, this doesn't quite work for me.
    I am working with dollars and cents and need it to round up to the next nickel.
    This formula does round to the next 05 but it skips the 00 as in .05, 10, 15, 20 it goes from .15 to .25 I need it to just go in .05 increments could you help please

    what I am trying to say is
    if I have 1.67 I want it to be 1.70 this formula rounds it to 1.75
    it works for 1.63 to 1.65 or 1.61 to 1.65 but fails to round to any number ending in 0 10, 20, 30, 40 etc

    Try this version

    =CEILING(A1,0.05)
