"Rounding" numbers - not exactly normal rounding t

Prospero · Post by **Prospero** » Sun Jul 03, 2005 6:24 am

Hi all,

When one is dealing with large integer numbers, does anyone know of a way to "round" a number to end in 125 or 625?

Example #1:

Let's say the number in question is 452764. The closest option to this would be 452625.

Example #2:

If the number is 873212, the closest option would be 873125.

Cheers,

Prospero

Hi,

Try this formula.

let>x=452764
let>result={int((%x%+625)/500)*500-375}
message>%result%

Greetings.

Many many thanks!

That seems to work perfectly.
