Round Down to the nearest multiple
could anyone help me out with a formula similar to MROUND but that always
rounds down? for example I have in cell A1 5.99 and I want to round this to the nearest LOWER 1/8th. So as where MROUND would give me 6.00, i need this formula to round to 5.875. any help is greatly appreciated! |

Round Down to the nearest multiple
But with the warning that with Biff's formula you'll get a #NUM! error if A1
is negative. =FLOOR(A1,0.125*SIGN(A1)) will work, if rounding "down" is regarded as towards zero. =IF(A10,FLOOR(A1,0.125),CEILING(A1,-0.125)) if "down" is towards minus infinity. -- David Biddulph "T.
