rounding numbers in excel

[abberyfarm]

Hi is there a function in excel to round decimal numbers to the nearest 0.2.

For instance I want to round these numbers

1.389	    1.4
0.611	    0.6
-1.25    -1.2
0.486	    0.4

thank you

Try

=ROUND(A1*5,0)/5

For some reason, Mround on its own wasn't working with negative numbers, but this should work:

=IF(A12<0,MROUND(-1*A12,0.2)*-1,MROUND(A12,0.2))

MrVillareal:


Multiplying by 5 and dividing by 5 is essentially the same as your response, although a little shorter.


Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. (10/2=5)
