    Round Percentages (Up and Down) by Multiples of 5%

    Hello,

    How do I round percentages, both up and down, to the nearest 5%?

    Ex. 82% to 80% as well as 84% to 85%

    Thank you.

    =MROUND(A1,0.05) you need to activate the
    Analysis ToolPak add-in (unless you are using excel2007 then it should work anyway)

    Thank you Martin.

    I checked out loading the ToolPak, but can't.

    How do I load ToolPak, or is there another formula I can use?

    Thank you.
