I'm a total newby with trying to use Excel (or any spreadsheet for that
matter) and I need a simpy rounding process but can only find things for
rounding to 15 minute intervals or else always rounding up or down.  Is
there a formula to simply round :02 down to :00 and :03 up to :05?

I apologize if this is right under my nose and I'm just too stupid to find
it.  ;-)

One way:

XL stores times as fractional days, and there are 288 5-minute periods
in a day, so:

   =ROUND(A1*288,0)/288

Format as time if necessary

trying to string together!!  ;-)
