Adding Round funciton to handful of numbers

Hi,

I have a sheet filled with raw data. I need to round each number and was
wondering if there is a formula or macro I can run to accomplish this. All
the numbers were entered in by hand.

Basically, I would like to highlight each number I need rounded and then run
the formula/macro.

Let me know if this is possible.

Thanks

Do you want to retain the unrounded value in the cell and only see the
rounded number?

Select the cells with any combination of mouse use and Ctrl and/or
Shift keys, then run this macro (having chosen which of the two lines
should be uncommented-out):Sub blah()
For Each cll In Selection.Cells
'cll.Value = Round(cll.Value, 2)'for actual rounding, OR:
cll.NumberFormat = "0.00" 'to see rounded versions
Next cll
End Sub

I think you will need a macro to do this. How did you want your numbers
rounded (round up, round down, round to nearest interval, Banker's Rounding,
normal rounding, to a set number of decimal places possibly coupled with one
of the previous methods, some other way)?

If you want to use a macro, the following should suffice.


Sub doit()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
cell = WorksheetFunction.Round(cell, 2)
cell.NumberFormat = "0.00"
Next cell
End Sub


Some comments:

1. I added a line to change the format (cell.NumberFormat). Delete that if
you wish to retain the original format.

2. I use Worksheet.Function.Round instead of the VBA Round function because
the latter rounds different (so-called "banker's rounding"). For example,
if the cell value is 295.425, WorksheetFunction.Round(cell,2) results in
295.43, whereas Round(cell,2) results in 295.42.

3. If you are unfamiliar with using macros, do the following:

a. In an active worksheet, press alt+F11 to open the VB window.

b. In the VB window, click on Insert Module. That should open the VB
Editor pane.

c. Copy and paste the macro text above into the VB Editor pane.

d. In the worksheet window, select the cells to be converted, either one
at a time or use ctrl+leftClick. Then press alt+F8, select the macro, and
click Run.

Caveat emptor: VBA Round() performs "banker's rounding", which is different
from Excel ROUND(). For example, with 295.425, VBA Round() results in
295.42, whereas Excel ROUND() results in 295.43.


OR:
cll.NumberFormat = "0.00" 'to see rounded versions

If that is all the Jamie wants to do, I think it would be simpler to do it
directly in the worksheet. Simply right-click, click Format Cells Number
Number, and select the number of decimal places, which defaults to 2.

This works but there are two changes I would like to make to it.

Can I have it so that the original number remains in the "formula bar" but
the rounded number shows up in the cell? I would like to have it so that if
the number were 88,888 the macro would insert the formula =Round("88,888", -2)

Also, can the macro keep the same number formatting? The one you gave me
changes the formatting to general.

Thanks

I would like the have my number normally rounded. For example, 88,888 would
round to 88,900. As if I were to have the following formula:
=Round("88888",-2).

Yes, I would like to retain the unrounded value in the cell and only see the
rounded number? I'm not exactly sure what your macro is that you wrote below.
Can you write it so that I can copy and paste it in a Module.

What I would like to have is a cell that has 88,888 in it and after I run
the macro the cell formula will be =Round("88888",-2) and the I will see the
number 88,900. I would also like to make the macro so that I can highlight
any cell either by hitting shift or holding down ctrl and the macro will
apply to all selected cells.

Thanks

Okay, the fact that you want to retain the original number and only show the
rounded value is different than I originally interpreted your response. I'm
thinking, as long as I understand what you want correctly, that you can just
use normal cell formatting. Select all the cells you want to round (whether
they current have values in them or not... think of the future
possibilities), click Format/Cells in the menu bar, select the Number tab on
the dialog box that comes up, select "Number" from the Category List and
choose the number of decimal places you want all your numbers rounded to,
then click OK. When you go back to your sheet, any numbers in those cells
you selected originally will now display with the number of decimal places
you picked, but the actual value in the cells will not be changed.

While most people in Excel will just use WorksheetFunction.Round to avoid
the Banker's Rounding problem, there is a wholly VB solution... use the
Format function. For whatever reason, Microsoft implemented Banker's in
every VB function that rounds values (CInt, CLng, Mod, \ operator, etc.)
*except* for the Format function. So, if you want to do "normal" rounding,
use the Format function instead of the Round function...

MsgBox Format(295.425, "0.00")
