1. Is it possible to do this excel?

[san]

Hi friends, i have a small query if you got little time. i have many numbers
in an excel worksheet and i want to round them up only for decimal places
and that too like this way.
219.39---219.35
219.32---219.30
219.34---219.30
219.37---219.35

I mean decimal places must end in .05, .10, .15, .20, .25, .30, so on. what
is the function for this result. thanks in advance.

Try this

=FLOOR(A1,0.05)

Hi,
try

=FLOOR(A3,0.05)

=ROUNDDOWN(A1*20,)/20

Hi,

Thanks so much for such a quick reply. I tried your function
=FLOOR(G1,0.05) on my worksheet, but on few cells it gave me result like
this

219.40---219.35 which should remain 219.40
219.55---219.50 which should remain 219.55

I wonder why it happened. Please help me on this too. Thanks.

Hi,

=IF(RIGHT(A3,1)=0,A3,FLOOR(A3,0.05))

Hi,

219.40---219.35 which should remain 219.40
219.55---219.50 which should remain 219.55

Hi,
disgegard my last formula, the one sent before works for me,

 

[T. Valko]

=IF(RIGHT(A3,1)=0,A3,FLOOR(A3,0.05))

Excel will never calculate a result of 219.40. It will calculate 219.4. The
only way to get the terminating 0 is to use formatting and formatting is for
display purposes only.

Using that formula the only time RIGHT(A3,1)=0 will be TRUE is if you first
correct it to read:

RIGHT(A3,1)="0"

If 219.40 is being rounded down to 219.35 then 219.40 is not the true
underlying value of the cell. It might be something like 219.399999999999
but, due to formatting, is displaying as 219.40.

So, the result of the formula, =FLOOR(G1,0.05) = 219.35, is correct.

In addition:

Using that formula the only time RIGHT(A3,1)=0
will be TRUE is if you first correct it to read:
RIGHT(A3,1)="0"

And, will only be TRUE when the number is an integer in a multiple of 10.

Thanks, I finally understood it. The cell 219.198 was shown as 219.20.
Thats why it when I used =FLOOR(G1,0.05) it showed me 219.15 which is
correct.

Thanks so much again.

Rounding to the nearest 0.05 :
=0.05 * (INT((A1+ 0.025 ) / 0.05 ))
