How do I round a date?

[Guest]

I'm trying to round a date to the first day of the next (14 day) pay cycle to
show when vacation time is accrued. Right now, I have:

- In cell B6 I manually enter the Date of Hire
- To show when benefits start, 6 months after the date of hire (or 3 months
if hired before 10/1/2005), in cell D6
=IF(B6>10/1/2005,EDATE(B6,3),EDATE(B6,6))
- To show when vacation is first accrued, 12 months after the benefit date,
in cell A10 =EDATE(D6,12)

I would really appreciate any help!
Thanks!

If I have understood:
=IF(DAY(C1)<15,DATE(YEAR(C1),MONTH(C1),1),DATE(YEAR(C1),MONTH(C1),14))
best wishes

It would help to know when your paycycles begin. Let's assume that a
paycycle begins on 9/1/2007 (C1) and begins every 14 (D1) days.

=IF(B6>10/1/2005,EDATE(B6,3),EDATE(B6,6))-MOD((IF(B6>10/1/2005,EDATE(B6,3),EDATE(B6,6))-$C$1),$D$1)+$D$1

Just a warning...

10/1/2005 is 10 divided by 1 divided by 2005.

I bet you wanted:

=if(b6>date(2006,10,1),edate(...

(and the same change later in the formula)
