Time ROUNDUP or ROUNDDOWN

Hi Folks


Is there anyway of rounding up and rounding down time values please.


For example:

Start Time: 04:35 and I want it to be rounddown to 04:30

Finish Time: 17:50 and I want it to be roundup to 18:00


Regards

David

If you have durations in, say, A2 and C2, then you can do something like this:




In B2, with the original duration in A2:


=DURATION(,,,FLOOR(DUR2MINUTES(A2),15))


In D2, with the original duration in C2:


=DURATION(,,,CEILING(DUR2MINUTES(C2),15))


If this still isn't what you are looking for you could try posting a screenshot.

Assuming you want to round up/down to the quarter hour (15 minutes), then one way is to do something like this:




The formula to round down, in B2, with the original time in A2::


=TIME(HOUR(A2),FLOOR(MINUTE(A2),15),SECOND(A2))


The formula to round up, in D2, with the original time in C2:


=TIME(HOUR(C2),CEILING(MINUTE(C2),15),SECOND(C2))


The formulas are the same except that one uses FLOOR and one uses CEILING.


If your region uses , as a decimal separator replace the , in the formulas with ; .
