Rounding Down To The Nearest Fraction
Feb 27, 2004I am trying to round a number down to the nearest 1/4". For example;
Round Down 8.80" to 8.75".
Is there any combination of Rounddown and Mround that will accomplish this?

I write up job cards that require measurements in fraction form. Usually whenever i want to round off a figure , say 10/16, to 5/8, i right click on the figure and format cell it. However, this can be quite time consuming if there are multiple cells and are of a different breakdown.
What i would like to know if there's a shortcut way where when the 10/16 is in the cell, it automatically rounds off to the nearest fraction.
I have excel 2003. I'm working on a weight lifting program and need to have cells round to the nearest 0 or 5. My problem is that the cells I need to round already have a formula in them and I can't get the cell to round the answer of the formula.
D17=U4*.6
I need the answer to be rounded to the nearest 0 or 5.
I wish to apply a rounding rule that will correctly round up or down to the nearest 5 or 0.
I tried using ceiling and floor and am almost there, but not quite.
Rule is to round up or down to nearest 5 or 0

I have downloaded a punch in time clock from another user " Alex17", great job by the way. I was wondering on how to apply some certain rules this. I would need the times to round to the nearest quarter. Let's say someone punched in @8:01AM or any time up to 8:07AM, I would need it to round to 8:00AM, if they punched in from 8:08AM up to anytime to 8:14Am, I would need that to round to 8:15AM or if someone punched in @ 8:23AM it would round to 8:30AM....etc. I attached the form.
I need these rules to apply
7:00 - 7:07 round down to 7
7:08 - 7:15 round up to 7:15
7:16 - 7:22 round down to 7:15
7:23 - 7:30 round up to 7:30
7:31 - 7:37 round down to 7:30
7:38 - 7:45 round up to 7:45
7:46 - 7:52 round down to 7:45
7:53 - 8:00 round up to 8
or if this makes more sense
7:00 - 7:07 round down to 7
7:08 - 7:15 round up to 7.25
7:16 - 7:22 round down to 7.25
7:23 - 7:30 round up to 7.5
7:31 - 7:37 round down to 7.5
7:38 - 7:45 round up to 7.75
7:46 - 7:52 round down to 7.75
7:53 - 8:00 round up to 8
How do I round $452.57 in cell A1 to $453.00? I want to format the cells to round to the nearest dollar and leave the .00 cents.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn cell A1, I might have the following numbers: 1, 5, 10, 50, 100.
In cell B1, I will have an unknown number
In cell C1, I want to round the number in B1 using the information given in A1.
For example:
A1 = 1
B1 = 153.45
C1 should be 153
C1 = round(B1,0)
A1 = 5
B1 = 153.45
C1 should be 155
C1 = round(B1,0) +/- 5 (depending on the situation)
A1 = 10
B1 = 153.45
C1 should be 150
C1 = round(B1,-1)
A1 = 50
B1 = 153.45
C1 should be 150
C1 = round(B1,-1) +/- 50 (depending on the situation)
Is there a quick of doing this using VB? I can do a bunch of if then statements... but was wondering if there's an easier way.
I was looking at the other posts and this should work. Why the bleep can't I get the MROUND function to work. Simple scenario...I need to round UP numbers to the nearest 50. 320 should bring back 350, 351 should bring back 400.
For example, if this is in cell A1, I think the formula should be =MROUND(A1,50). Yet everytime I use the function, it gives me NAME#.

What formula could I use to round up or down time values to the nearest 6 minute increment?
Example:
Time ----> Rounded To
5:02 PM --> 5:00 PM
5:03 PM --> 5:06 PM
4:18 PM --> 4:18 PM
4:19 PM --> 4:18 PM
4:20 PM --> 4:18 PM
4:21 PM --> 4:24 PM

We are trying to find the correct formula to round number to the nearest even number. In the attached example, 0.105 should round to 0.10 since the zero to the left of the five is even. If the problem was 0.115 then the answer would be 0.12 since the one to the left of the zero is odd.
I would like to round this number (3.5) to become 4, but by using this formula =CEILING(A1,0.5) the result will be 3.5
i need a formula that turns 3.5 to 4
when i use this formula =ROUND(A2,0.5), 3.5 becomes 4, but 3.2 becomes 3 not 3.5
i.e. a formula turns 3.2 to 3.5 and 3.5 to 4
I am trying to round similar to Banker's Rounding or Scientific Rounding but I can't find a consistent formula that works perfect with decimals.
Using three decimal places for all the samples, I can get 0.0785 to round to 0.078 but 0.1785 wants to round to 0.179 instead of staying 0.078. Or 0.0005 will round to 0 but 0.5115 wants to round to 0.511 instead of 0.512.
Here is a list of sample numbers along with desired results:
.0785 should be .078
.5115 should be .512
.5035 should be .504
.0005 should be 0
.0025 should be .002
.0194 should be .019
.0195 should be .02
.0135 should be .014
.0115 should be .012
.8115 should be .812
I cannot find a formula which gives me all of these results. Here is a list of the formulas I have tried so far (NOTE: cell A2 is the working cell in my worksheet where I enter the number to be rounded)
1) =MROUND(A2,0.001)
3) =ROUND(A2,3)
4) =IF(ISERROR(IF(MOD(MID(A2,4,1),2)=1,CEILING(A2,0.001),FLOOR(A2,0.001))),0,IF(MOD(MID(A2,4,1),2)=1,CEILING(A2,0.001),FLOO R(A2,0.001)))
5) =EVEN(A2)
6) =ROUNDUP(A2,3)
7) =ROUNDDOWN(A2,3)
I have a form to round to nearest quarter but if it is less than 1 hour I need it to round to a total of 1. Can this be combined in one formula.
I also need my time to be configured so that if the start time is a PM number then end time AM it does not figure right. is there a way to remove the AM/PM from time. I have already tried all the formats from number,time, & custom.

How do I get a fraction to show as a fraction rather than decimal in the formula bar by formatting the cell as text.
For ex:
I have "-3/4" in a cell formated as "TEXT" I expect it to show "-3/4" in formula bar but it shows "-0.75".
Im combing 2 cells into 1 but using a fraction..
I created 2 examples of what im trying to do..
Example.
A1 = 22
A2 = 11 3/4
=A1&"'-"&TEXT(A2,"# ?/?")&"''"
[b]22'-11 3/4"[b]
but when A2 = 11
i get this..
22'-11___''
on excel it has some space between the 11 and '' but i cant show that here..
i would like the '' to be next to the 11. is there any way to do that?
I have copied from a website some data regarding steel weights, for example 1/16 .005 copies to one cell, when I try text to columns to separate the whole column and move the decimal .005 to the next column the 1/16 changes to 41290. The data copies quite well as HTML into Excel except for where a lone fraction value becomes a 5 digit number beginning with 41***. I can find no conversion calculator on the web to determine what's happening.

Changing fraction to decimal, needs to remain fraction.
I have played w/ the formatting to make Number w/ zero decimal places and then selected Fraction, but no luck there.

Is there any way of formatting a cell to show a percentage with a fraction? For example, I'd like to show: 3 1/3%, 1 2/3%, 2 1/2%, etc.
I'm showing data to a client who will pull out his calculator and add up the decimals on his calculator and be unhappy that the numbers don't add up to 100%.
I can force the output by using TEXT() or multiple columns, but ideally, I'd like a custom format if possible.
I am trying to paste in a decimal equivalent chart, loacted here:
http://www.advancedtool.com/prod02111.asp
which basically has a mixture of whole numbers and fractions, and how they equate in decimals.
When I paste this in, all the fractions turn into dates. So for instance 1/64 turns into Jan/64, and 1/32 is Jan/32. Now, I could go in and change each one, but I would like to know how to do this with cell format on the entire sheet....
I have tried to change the cell formats to "general" or "text" and of course fraction, but in this case, I have to go in and do each fraction cell individually. Now maybe I am being too lazy, and in the time it took me to look up my login information, and type this out, I likely could have re-done the worksheet, each cell individually, but I would like to know the way to fix this automatically.
I have created a "heat map" in VBA that takes fractional values and "ranks" them in 10 equal bands, then assigns a colour to each band. (Hopefully that made sense to you VBA experts out there)
However, I now want to look at the numerators of these fractions, rank these, and do something like "if the numerator is > x then proceed, else exit. Is there a way to reference these numerators directly? If so, is there a way to store them in some sort of array then take the max value too?
I've tried searching this and it seems like this should be a simple answer, but is there any way I can reference the numerator of a fraction in Excel? These cells will contain formulae; so they'll be E5/C5 for example.
I simply cannot insert a one eighth symbol in my spreadsheet.. I used to be able to see this in the Insert Symbols grib but now all I get are lots of question market.. if I use
selection.value = ChrW(8569)
the symbol does appear until I select the cell and press return, after which point it turns into a question mark.. I'm sure its something to do with my settings but I can't figure out what.. this is really important for me.
I know that if I enter =3/4 in a cell it will give me .75 but is there is formula to convert fractions into decimals or is this the best way to do it? I was also wondering if there is some way to convert the decimal amount to a fraction
for measurement conversions I know that
=B3*25.4 will convert a decimal to mm and so will the formula =CONVERT(E4,"in","mm")
and to convert mm to a decimal a few formula that work are
=CONVERT(H3,"mm","in")
=MROUND(H4/25.4, 1/8)
=H5/25.4
=INT(H6/25.39999918*8)/8
But is there a way to convert a fraction to the decimal and is there a way to convert mm to a fraction instead of the decimal equivalent of the fraction?
or maybe a formula to convert mm to inches but instead of the result being in decimal format it would be in fraction format?
