Customized rounding problem

I need to round a number as follows:
if the value behind the decimals is <.25 then it should round down to the whole number, if the value is >.25 but <.5 it should round up to .5, if the value is <.5 it should round up to the next whole number.

an example:
1.24 becomes 1
1.45 becomes 1.5
1.75 becomes 2

I've found this solution below, but need to add the rounding up part to the next whole number:
Function CustomRound(pValue As Double) As Double
Dim LWhole As Long
Dim LFraction As Double
'Retrieve integer part of the number
LWhole = Int(pValue)
'Retrieve the fraction part of the number
LFraction = pValue - LWhole
If LFraction < 0.25 Then
CustomRound = LWhole
Else
CustomRound = LWhole + 0.5
End If
End Function

Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you.
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Hi Ileia
Welcome to the board

For ex., try:

Code:
Function CustomRound(pValue As Double) As Double
Dim LWhole As Long
Dim LFraction As Double
 
'Retrieve integer part of the number
LWhole = Int(pValue)
 
'Retrieve the fraction part of the number
LFraction = pValue - LWhole
 
' Round
If LFraction < 0.25 Then
    CustomRound = LWhole
ElseIf LFraction < 0.5 Then
    CustomRound = LWhole + 0.5
Else
    CustomRound = LWhole + 1
End If
 
End Function

Remark: shouldn't the variable name be DFraction instead of LFraction, since it's a Double (assuming the first letter is a type prefix)?
