Hi I have multiple dollar value ranges and am trying to apply one formula for each option but is there a better way to write the formula below?

=if(and(A2>10,000,A2<100,000),roundup(A2,-4),
if(and(A2>100,000,A2<1,000,000),roundup(A2,-5),
if(and(A2>1,000,000,A2<1,000,000,000),roundup(A2,-6),
Roundup(A2,-7))))

Column A - Dollars
$12,036,219.22
$437,379.70
$11,737.18
$180,595.28

Not everything I do at work revolves around Excel. Only the fun parts.
try this:
Excel Formula:
=ROUNDUP(A2,-INT(LOG10(A2)))

Thank you. That works great. Just one thing for the first number $12,036,219.22, I want it to say $13,000,000 but it is coming out to $20,000,000. Is there a way for it to return that?

If it's an exception only for that range ($12,036,219.22 to $13,000,000) then this should work:
=ROUNDUP(A2,IF(-INT(LOG10(A2))=-7,-6,-INT(LOG10(A2))))

Thank you. Wow that worked perfectly.

Is this the accurate way of understanding the formula logic. Is it saying to roundup to the nearest 6 digits where the next whole number is 7 characters and then if taht is not true then the last statement will bring it to the next whole number?

Yes I think so. The IF function adds the one exception that you need (otherwise it calculates as per original solution). By the way, the solution from offthelip is amazing! Thanks for the question Caly!

You could also use this formula:
=ROUNDUP(A2,INDEX({0;-1;-2;-3;-4;-5;-6;-6},MATCH(-INT(LOG10($A2)),{0;-1;-2;-3;-4;-5;-6;-7},0)))
It's flexible if you end up with more exceptions (note the 2nd "-6" in the INDEX part accommodates your current exception).

an even shorter way of doing that is:
Excel Formula:
=ROUNDUP(A2,-MIN(6,INT(LOG10(A2))))

Thank you both - this works perfect and I was able to use in multiple projects thank you
