    Rounding Formula

    I am working on a worksheet that I need to round some numbers up in a
    cell.

    I need to make sure that they round up to the nearest $.05. For instance, if the amount is $16.43, I want it to round up to $16.45. If the number is $16.46 i want it to round up to $16.50.

    Can you give me the formula to do that?

    Thanks in advance.

    Try:

    =CEILING(A1,0.05) where A1 contains original
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Actually I did try that formula and what I got was $17.00. It is rounding it up too much, to the nearest dollar vice nearest nickle.

    Any other suggestions?

    Thanks again.

    If I type 16.43 in A1, I get 16.45 in my result cell

    If I type 16.46 in A1, I get 16.50 in my result cell

    what do you type to get 17?
