CEILING.MATH

CEILING.MATH(number [,significance] [,mode])

Returns the number rounded up to the nearest integer or significant figure (including negative).

numberThe number to be rounded up.
significance(Optional) The multiple you want the number rounded to.
mode(Optional) A logical value indicating whether to round negative numbers up or down:
False (or 0) = Negative numbers are rounded up towards zero (default)
True (<> 0) = Negative numbers are rounded down away from zero

REMARKS
* This function was added in Excel 2013 to replace the CEILING.PRECISE and CEILING functions.
* Positive decimal numbers are rounded up to the nearest integer.
* Negative decimal numbers are rounded up to the nearest integer.
* If "number" is an exact multiple of "significance", there will be no rounding.
* If "number" is divided by a significance of 2 or greater, results in a remainder, the result is rounded down.
* The "significance" argument will determine how the "number" is rounded up.
* If "significance" is left blank, then 1 is used.
* If "significance" > 0, then "number" is rounded up to an exact multiple of "significance".
* If "significance" < 0, then the absolute value is taken.
* If "mode" is left blank, then False is used.
* The "mode" argument only affects negative numbers.
* The "mode" argument can also take numerical values. 0 is equivalent to False. Any other number is equivalent to True.
* Alternative formula is =INT(-number/significance)*significance
* You can use the FLOOR.MATH function to round down to the nearest integer or significant figure.
* You can use the INT function to return a number rounded down to the nearest integer.
* You can use the MROUND function to round to a desired multiple of.
* You can use the NOW function to return the serial number of the current system date and time.
* You can use the ROUND function to round to a specified number of digits.
* You can use the ROUNDUP function if you always want the number rounded up to the nearest integer.
* You can use the TRUNC function to returns the number with any decimal places removed.
