I want to round a cell with an existing formula in it.

this is the formula:   =+'Revenue Projection'!M1  and it shows as $8,541,403 (it is a result from another sheet)

I want to round that in the same cell to the nearest $1000 ($8,541,000)

Anybody know how to get this done?

RTFM

pretty sure the command is round  (RND)
or truncate

You cannot round a cell.  They are rectangles, or sometimes squares.

Format --> cells --> number --> (under category) number --> set the decimal places to whatever significant number you wish to round to

the command is "round". I just can't figure out how to round a cell with a formula in it. If it was just a number it would be easy. The cell is B51 so the formula (in a different cell) would be

=ROUND(B51,-3)

=ROUND(+'Revenue Projection'!M1, -3)

Quoted:
=ROUND(+'Revenue Projection'!M1, -3)


=ROUND('Revenue Projection'!M1,-3) Result I got from another board, I'm sure yours would work also.

Thank you very much! I spent a lot of time trying to figure that one out.

How do you make a + show for positive numbers?

I was wondering what the '+' sign was there for anyway.  It didn't make any difference either way.

You can do it in code or formatting.  For formatting the order goes:
positive;negative;zero;text;

The following formatting does whole dollars, positive with a leading '+', negative red with a leading '-'.


+$#,##0_);-$#,##0_)

I've never figured out how to round like that.  

I just use scientific notation, i.e.:

8.541E+06
