Worksheet roundup trouble

[fuberator]

Hi

 

I have a column with decimal values representing power consumption, in watts.

In the next column I would like to know how many of my 600w power supply units I have to allocate.

 

So I need to round up, but I cannot seem to make it work, it just writes out the formula indicating that something is not right.

 

=ROUND(F2/600, 1) works , but rounds anything under 600 to zero.

 

the worksheet function is documented as follows:

 

roundup(number, digits)

Rounds the specified number up to a specified number of decimal digits.

=roundup(2.345, 2) returns 2.35

 

If I use the formula from the example, I get the same result, it just writes out the formula

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers

I found my own solution, I used "=ceiling(F2/600)" and set the format of the cell to decimal with 0 decimals

Following up on the monologue thread.

 

I would now like to round up inside a data tag.

 

Is there a way to add rounding (up) to this tag definition: (#Screens#.#Load#*#Screens#.#Tubes#*20)*3/512

 

Cheers

There does not seem to be a roundup function using the Data Tag formatting.  But you can convert it to use #WS_ # functions instead and use Roundup there.

Untested, but something like:

 

#WS_Roundup((Screens.Load*Screens.Tubes*20)*3/512,2)#

 

This should round to 2 decimal places. Change the last 2 to however many decimals you want.
