7.2 How can I round to the nearest multiple of 3? or the nearest nickel? (spreadsheets)

if you have a ROUND() function, simply divide by your grouping,
round your value, and multiply by your grouping.

  e.g., to round to the nearest  use
     3                           ROUND(value/3)*3
     0.05                        ROUND(value/0.05)*0.05
     0.05                        ROUND(value*20)/20     [equivalent]

these results will still be subject to computer accuracy -- if you
round 0.15 to the nearest 0.3, you might get 0 or you might get 0.3
or you might get 0.29999999999.
