Hi,

I'm working to enhance an EG report with some new calcs to be used for determining shipping measurements 

My data set will have 3  numeric data columns with whole numbers & numbers with decimal positions.

 

IE:

5

17.72

13.47

15

6.15

 

For the values that have no decimal positions, I need to leave those numbers 'as is'

Any value that has a decimal position, I need to always round up to the next whole number with no decimal positions

 

so my expected results will be:

5

18

14

15

7

 

Does anyone know of a function or routine I can use for this? 

Any help would be appreciated!
