CEILING Formula Syntax

=CEILING(12.3, 5)

Example Use Case

Rounding a number up to the nearest multiple of a specified significance, useful for mathematical and financial applications in Google Sheets.

Understanding the CEILING Function in Google Sheets

The CEILING function rounds a number up to the nearest multiple of a given significance. This function is useful in finance, accounting, and engineering where values must be rounded to specific thresholds.

Unlike the ROUND function, which rounds to the nearest value, CEILING always rounds up to the next multiple of the specified significance.

Why Use CEILING in Google Sheets?

CEILING is beneficial for financial and statistical calculations where rounding values to fixed intervals is required, such as for tax calculations, budgeting, and price rounding.

Example with Sample Data

Input	Formula	Result
12.3	=CEILING(12.3, 5)	15
7.1	=CEILING(7.1, 2)	8
3.5	=CEILING(3.5, 1)	4

The table above demonstrates the CEILING function's output for different numbers and significance. This function is useful for rounding up values to the nearest desired interval.
