I want to divide one number by another and round the answer up to the
nearest hundreth.
   Ie, 38 inches divided by 12 equals 3.17.
Right now I can DISPLAY the 3.17 but when using that in a formula it's
calculating with 3.1667

Thanks in advance

=CEILING(A2,0.01)

with the formula in A2

Thanks, I'll try that.  I've never heard of or seen 'Ceiling' before.  Very
cool

Thanks again

one way:

   =ROUNDUP(38/12,2)

Thank you!

Instead of a number how would I write this if I wanted to reference a cell?
There will be a column of numbers and I'll want to divide each number by 12.
A5/12
A6/12
A7/12 etc

Thanks
Boze

one way:

   =ROUNDUP(38/12,2)

=ROUNDUP(A5/12,2)  entered in B5.

Double-click on B5 fill handle to copy down as far as you have numbers in A.

That works great.  Is there a way that I can get zeros to show so there's
always 2 digits after the decimal point? 3.00 instead of 3 ?

Geez, I should've been able to figure that one out.  Guess it was too
obvious!

Thanks again, Gord
