texte = I'm trying to come up with a formula that will convert our US prices to our Canadian prices.For higher priced items, we take the US price, multiply by 1.4, and round up to the nearest 95 cents (eg, $6.95 would go to $9.95).For lower priced items, we take the US price, multiply by 1.4, and round up to the nearest 5 cents (eg, $2.95 would go to $4.15).This would be pretty simple to do with some sort of ROUND (or FLOOR or CEILING) context, but if one exists I don't know about it. I imagine that it might look like this:[MATH ROUND=UP&.10].13[/MATH]=.20 and [MATH ROUND=DOWN&.10].13[/MATH]=.10IS there another way to solve my problem?MichaelMichael Winston *By Phone!: (503)/652/8815 x341 Internet Coordinator *By e-mail!: michaelw@dhorse.com Dark Horse Comics, Inc. *By web!: http://www.dhorse.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
