  • 1.  What is the formula to round up or down to the nearest ""5

    Posted 11-15-2016 21:15
    Need a formula for the following:

    If [gal to order] is between 17 & 22, round to 20
    If [gal to order] is between 22.01 & 27, round to 25

    etc...

    I think your math is wrong. If you want to round to the nearest 5, Round(17,5) = 15 not 20.

    No math involved. I want all numbers between 17 & 22 to round to the number 20. Some will round up, some will round down. Also, 22.01 through 27 would round to 25...so on and so forth. Thx

    If(
      [gal to order] >=17 and [gal to order] <22, 20,
      [gal to order] >=22 and [gal to order] <27, 25
    )

    Round([gal to order]/5)*5

    To prevent returning a zero use with an if statement to handle values <2.5

    This will work with any desired multiple.
