Default Format cell to the nearest 100

Is there a format for rounding a cell to the nearest 100 so that 501.35
rounds to 500. I was using #,##0 to just round to the dollar, but I want to
got to the nearest 100.

Any thoughts?

Gandor: Try =ROUND(A1,-2) where A1 is the number you want to round.

IN Excel 2007

=ROUNDDOWN(B3,-2)

*Nearest*, so ROUND, not ROUNDDOWN.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was hoping for a format versus a formula. But
this will do
