CEILING function doesn't work

[Alex Brown]

When I try to use this function in a query I get the
following message:

Undefined function 'ceiling' in expression.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Alex

AFAIK, there is no Ceiling function in Access.

The Ceiling function is an EXCEL function and is not an Access function. You
can write a function to do this in VBA.

UNTESTED AIRCODE follows that should handle positive numbers. It may introduce
errors if the number passed in has less digits in the decimal portion than the
number of digits you wish to roundup to. For instance, fRoundup(.1,2) might
return .11


Public Function fRoundUp(dblNumber As Double, _
Optional intPlaces As Integer) As Double
fRoundUp = -Int(-dblNumber * 10 ^ intPlaces) / 10 ^ intPlaces
End Function
