Hello,

I haven't had any success in trying to do the following:

I have a column of hours - all with .50 (such as 8.50, 7.50, 1.50, etc.)

I am trying to program a routine to go down the column cell by cell and
alternately round the first cell up to the nearest whole number, round the
second cell down to the nearest whole number, round the third one up to the
nearest whole number, etc.

I appreciate any help with this. Thank you !!

Hi

Try
=IF(MOD(ROW(),2)<>0,ROUNDUP(A1,0),ROUNDDOWN(A1,0))

Depending upon whether the first row you are trying to Roundup is Odd (use
formula as is) or if even the change <> to =

Copy down as required

Another way (requires the Analysis ToolPak)...
=MROUND(A1,2)

If the first number is in an odd-numbered row (cell A1 in my example), try
this formula:
=IF(MOD(ROW(),2)=1,CEILING(A1,1),FLOOR(A1,1))
and copy down.

If the first number is in an even-numbered row (cell A2 in my example), try
this version:
=IF(MOD(ROW(),2)=0,CEILING(A2,1),FLOOR(A2,1))
and copy down.

CEILING rounds up, FLOOR rounds down.

Hope this helps,

Hutch

Assuming the numbers start in cell A2, enter this formula in B2 and copy
down as needed:

=IF(MOD(ROWS(A$2:A2),2),A2+0.5,A2-0.5)
