How to round up a number in Numbers spreadsheet to the nearest dollar?

I am a novice with Numbers spreadsheets and only have a rudimentary knowledge of math (meaning anything other than basic math is like a foreign language to me). I am trying to round up a number in a cell that is the result of a calculation in another cell. So it is easier to understand, I am adding my annual expenses and then dividing the total by 12 to be entered in another cell. But I want the total rounded up to the nearest dollar.

Example: D46 is the SUM of numbers in cells D38 to D45 and my formula for D46 is SUM D38:D45 and in cell D30 is the result of the total in D46 divided by 12. My formula in D30 is D46/12

How can I get the number in D30 to round up to the nearest dollar?

Round up? or round to nearest? they are not the same.

If D46/12 came to, say, $100.01, do you want the result of $101 (round up), or $100 (round to nearest)?

muguy's ROUND() function will round to nearest.

If you want to round up to the next dollar, then use:

=ROUNDUP(D46/12,0)

which will round to the next whole dollar.

Set the field to Round(D46/12,0)
