Default IF STATEMENT

Sierra, you've moved all the goal posts!

But, I think/hope, what you are asking here is how to add .01 when there are
2 decimal places, .001 when there are 3 decimal places, etc., is that
correct?

If so, then you need something like:

B9+1*10^-(LEN(B9)-FIND(".",B9))

instead of B9+0.1

Ok. Now I have the following problem:
The following numbers are in column B:

B3 2.0
B4 1.1
B5 1.02

My formula is =IF(COUNTIF(B9:G9,"*"),ROUNDUP(B9,0),B9+0.1), because I want
the number in B3 & B4 to be 1.2 but for B5 I want it to be 1.03.

How do I change the formula or add on to it to reflect numbers that have
an
extra space?

The * (asterisk) is a wildcard that means " any TEXT ".

I want it to determine that if *any* cell (c3:f3) has a character in

You are correct in assuming that I need to account for numbers that have one

what I gave you was only a part of the overall formula, your finished
formula would be:

=IF(COUNTIF(B9:G9,"*"),ROUNDUP(B9,0),
B9+1*10^-(LEN(B9)-FIND(".",B9)))

Default IF STATEMENT

Here is what Steve posted placed inside the IF function call that you
originally asked for....

=IF(COUNTIF(C9:G9,"*"),ROUNDUP(B9,0),B9+10^-(LEN(B9)-FIND(".",B9)))

However, there is one possible problem with this formula... it will error
out if the value in B9 is a whole number with no decimal part (and if there
is something in C9:G9). I would have patched it for Steve, but you never
told us what should happen when B9 contains a whole number... should it have
1 added to it (that is, if B9 contained, say, 5, should it become 6)?

Default IF STATEMENT

By the way, notice that I made the range for the COUNTIF function C9:G9, and
NOT the range B9:G9 that you said you were using in your formula. If you
include B9, then the COUNTIF will always return at least a value of 1 which
means the true part of the IF statement will always execute.

Default IF STATEMENT

Just an observation... you do not need to multiply the power of 10 by 1
(that is, you can leave out the 1* from your formula...

=IF(COUNTIF(B9:G9,"*"),ROUNDUP(B9,0),B9+10^-(LEN(B9)-FIND(".",B9)))

I also noted changed the range in the COUNTIF function to C9:G9... if B9 is
included, the IF function will always be TRUE. I posted this formula in my
own response to this thread and noted that the formula will not work if both
B9 contains a whole number and one or more of the cells in C9:G9 have values
in them... unfortunately, the OP never said what he wants added to whole
numbers, so I didn't know how to patch the formula to avoid the error.

Default IF STATEMENT

If B9 is a whole number (1.00) and if C9:G9 are blank, then H9 should be
B9+.1 or 1.1. If any column between c9:g9 contain a character, then H9
should round up to next whole number. Only if a number in column B has two
decimal places (1.03) and C9:G9 are blank, then H9 needs to be B9+.01.

Here is what Steve posted placed inside the IF function call that you
originally asked for....

=IF(COUNTIF(C9:G9,"*"),ROUNDUP(B9,0),B9+10^-(LEN(B9)-FIND(".",B9)))

However, there is one possible problem with this formula... it will error
out if the value in B9 is a whole number with no decimal part (and if there
is something in C9:G9). I would have patched it for Steve, but you never
told us what should happen when B9 contains a whole number... should it have
1 added to it (that is, if B9 contained, say, 5, should it become 6)?

You are correct in assuming that I need to account for numbers that have

decimal place and two decimal places, but does your formula still do the
basis of what I need, in that if the "if" statement is true it will
roundup
to the next whole number? Please let me know. THanks.

Sierra, you've moved all the goal posts!

But, I think/hope, what you are asking here is how to add .01 when there
are
2 decimal places, .001 when there are 3 decimal places, etc., is that
correct?

If so, then you need something like:

B9+1*10^-(LEN(B9)-FIND(".",B9))

instead of B9+0.1

Ok. Now I have the following problem:
The following numbers are in column B:

B3 2.0
B4 1.1
B5 1.02

My formula is =IF(COUNTIF(B9:G9,"*"),ROUNDUP(B9,0),B9+0.1), because I
want
the number in B3 & B4 to be 1.2 but for B5 I want it to be 1.03.

How do I change the formula or add on to it to reflect numbers that
have
an
extra space?

Default IF STATEMENT

Doh! (regarding 1*)

As far as the range goes, it was the OP who changed it, along with
practically everything else...


"Rick Rothstein" wrote in message
...
Just an observation... you do not need to multiply the power of 10 by 1
(that is, you can leave out the 1* from your formula...

=IF(COUNTIF(B9:G9,"*"),ROUNDUP(B9,0),B9+10^-(LEN(B9)-FIND(".",B9)))

I also noted changed the range in the COUNTIF function to C9:G9... if B9
is included, the IF function will always be TRUE. I posted this formula in
my own response to this thread and noted that the formula will not work if
both B9 contains a whole number and one or more of the cells in C9:G9 have
values in them... unfortunately, the OP never said what he wants added to
whole numbers, so I didn't know how to patch the formula to avoid the
error.

Sierra,

what I gave you was only a part of the overall formula, your finished
formula would be:

=IF(COUNTIF(B9:G9,"*"),ROUNDUP(B9,0),
B9+1*10^-(LEN(B9)-FIND(".",B9)))

Sorry about the delay, I was just checking back through my posts and noticed
I'd missed this one.

=IF(COUNTIF(C9:G9,"*"),ROUNDUP(B9,0)+(INT(B9)=B9),
B9+10^-(LEN(B9)-IF(INT(B9)=B9,0,FIND(".",B9))))
