Round a figure to the nearest / highest 10,100,500 etc.

If the number is in A2 just use this formula

To round to the NEAREST 500:   (eg. 524 rounds to 500)
=ROUND(A2/500,0)*500

To round to the NEXT HIGHEST 500:   (eg. 524 rounds to 1000)
=CEILING(A2,500)

    Thanks
    Any Idea for A2 is Negative Number?

    This doesn’t round the value to the nearest X, it rounds it up to the next highest X. This does what your title claims:

    =ROUND(A2/500,0)*500

    Jon Peltier very helpfull for me.
    I use the “CEILING(ABS(A2),500)*-1″ in IF formulas.

    Thanks.
