Great. Now, if the your changes his mind you already have the solution.

My first email asked how to round to the nearest 50, and I used Bruce's formula. But my second email said that the client had changed his mind and told me that he wanted it to always round UP. So yeah, first email 510 would've rounded down to 500; second email it would've rounded up to 550 Karen -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, Jan 5, 2021 12:00 pm Subject: RE: Re[2]: [RBASE-L] - Rounding up/down - one more piece of info I am a little bit confused. In your last post you wrote: “But as I said, in this case it always has to round UP, so 510 would be 550, not 500.” But, in your original post you wrote: I need to round an integer to the nearest 50 (up or down) IOW: 520 would be 500 570 would be 550 580 would be 600 This is not always rounding up, right? My solution will round up OR down to the nearest 50 as requested in the original post. I think I must be missing something very obvious but, so far, it has been one of those day…L Javier, Javier Valencia, PE [email protected] O: 913-829-0888 C: 913-915-3137 From: 'Karen Tellef' via RBASE-L [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 05, 2021 8:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Re[2]: [RBASE-L] - Rounding up/down - one more piece of info Yes, I kept your formula too, altho I'm unsure of the benefit of it over the ROUND function which seems to work. But as I said, in this case it always has to round UP, so 510 would be 550, not 500. If you have an alternative to RNDUP function, I'd like to make note of that one too!

Javier, Javier Valencia, PE [email protected] O: 913-829-0888 C: 913-915-3137 From: 'Karen Tellef' via RBASE-L [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 04, 2021 5:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Re[2]: [RBASE-L] - Rounding up/down - one more piece of info After I incorporated Bruce's simple formula to do the rounding, then he tells me that it needs to always round up. So I looked at the RNDUP function and brought in Bruce's formula and got the following. The only issue is that RNDUP does not work on integer values, so I added a Double column to my temp table and loaded the numbers there. So using the formula: 510 becomes 550 580 becomes 600 601 becomes 650

I need to round an integer to the nearest 50 (up or down) IOW: 520 would be 500 570 would be 550 580 would be 600 Someone have a nifty formula to do that, or do I have to do 3 calculations: how far is each number from 500, how far from 550, how far from 600, and then take whichever is smaller?
