Hi there



I have this formula below where I need to also round up by 5 or round down by 5 ( e.g. 4556, to 45560 or 2333 to 2335)



({Original Price AED} * (100 - Discount)) / 100



Could anyone please advise how I integrate the round formula within the above formula?



Thanks,



Nathalie

That formula would be:


ROUND([number],-1)


HI Andre



Many thanks. How can I include that formula within my existing formula?



({Original Price AED} * (100 - Discount)) / 100



Or do I have to create a separate column to do the ROUND formula?

I think there’s a typo in your original example. If by





round up by 5 or round down by 5





you mean round to the nearest multiple of 5, where 4556 would round to 4555, 2333 to 2335, and 2332 to 2330, the formula you want is



ROUND(number*2,-1)/2



To incorporate that into your current formula, just replace 'number' with your formula:



ROUND((({Original Price AED} * (100 - Discount)) / 100)*2,-1)/2

I can see that it works, but I don’t quite understand how it works so I’m having trouble modifying this formula to round to a multiple of 15. Is this possible? I’m pulling the minute from a date_time field and need to round to the nearest quarter hour.



Thanks,

Try



ROUND(nbr*.67,-1)/.67



That seems to work, but play with it a bit to make sure.



Note: Anything 52.5 minutes or longer is rounded up to 60 minutes — which you probably don’t want. Here are two variations:



If nbr is number of minutes, possibly > 60



IF(

ROUND(ROUND(MOD(nbr,60)*.67,-1)/.67,0)=60,

INT(nbr/60)+1&':00',

INT(nbr/60)&':'&ROUND(ROUND(MOD(nbr,60)*.67,-1)/.67,0)

)



If you’ve already split a time field into {hr} (hours) and {min} (minutes)



IF(

ROUND(ROUND(min*.67,-1)/.67,0)=60,

hr+1&':00',

hr&':'&ROUND(ROUND(min*.67,-1)/.67,0)

)


Try



ROUND(nbr*.67,-1)/.67

What if I have a number like 1240 or 770 and I need to round it to the nearest hundred? Would we have any solution?
Thank you all
