Rounding to price points

[Guest]

I want to round a series of numbers to the nearest price point of 5 or 9
pence (up or down). E.g. £12.74 would become £12.75, £12.78 would become
£12.79, £12.91 would become £12.89

Any ideas? I'm happy to use a series of calculations if there is no single
function that will do the trick.

TIA,

Chris.

HI Chris,

Not nice but the best I could do

=IF(MOD(A1,0.1)*100<5,CEILING(A1,0.05),A1-MOD(A1,0.1)+0.09)

Hi Bob.

Don't care whether it's nice or not!

This certainly brings the prices to the price points required, but by
rounding up. Is there any way of getting the initial number to the 'nearest'
price point?

Many thanks for your help so far!

Chris.

In that scenario, where would 12.92 go, 12.95 or 12.89?

Excellent question - my Buyer says that it would be difficult to set those
types of conventions! I will therefore leave it to him to resolve.

Thanks for your help, Bob.

It gets worse. The same problem applies to ending with 7 as to ending with
2. so if it ends with either of those, I don't change it. Otherwise

=IF(OR(RIGHT(A1,1)="2",RIGHT(A1,1)="7"),A1,IF(MOD(A1,0.1)*100<2,INT(A1*10)/1
0-0.01,IF(MOD(A1,0.1)*100<7,ROUND(A1*20,0)/20,A1-MOD(A1,0.1)+0.09)))

Enjoy

Perhaps:

=ROUND(A1/0.05,0)*0.05-(MOD(ROUND(A1/0.05,0)*0.5,1)=0)/100

But note that:

12.77 --> 12.75
12.92 --> 12.89

Not sure if this is what you want.
