Is there any way to round to the nearest 1/8, 1/4, etc in Excel.

Hi Lisa,

Use the MROUND() function. If you get a #NAME error: Tools>Add-ins, check Analysis Toolpak

Yes. You multiply by 8, 4, etc., then round normally (to nearest integer),
then divide by 8, 4, etc.
So, for example,
=ROUND(8*A1,0)/8

Firstly, try asking the question in the body of the message rather than just
in the subject line.

Secondly, have you looked at Format/ Cells/ Fractions? [But that would just
change the display, so if you wanted to change the value you'd need the
"Precision as Display" option, which is dangerous if you forget that you've
applied it.]

A better option would be =MROUND(A1,0.125) or =MROUND(A1,0.25) [and you
could couple that with formatting as a fraction if you want it displayed
that way].
