I don't think so.

the effect in this case is the same as
CIELING(1.2,0.5).

I don't think so.

MROUND(1.2,0.5) is 1, whereas CEILING(1.2,0.5) is 1.5.

MROUND rounds; CEILING rounds up. Since the latter provides the result that
Saeed requested (based on his two examples), CEILING is the correct function
to use.

Of course, that begs the questions of whether the two examples sufficiently
demonstrate the kind of rounding that Saeed really wants, and whether his two
examples correctly reflect what he wants. I would like to have seen more
examples, notably 1.1 and 1.6.

Since MROUND() rounds up,the effect in this case is the same as
CIELING(1.2,0.5). Plus, MROUND() requires that the Analysis ToolPak add-in
be active/installed.

Just another alternative. You can also look at FLOOR() if you need to round
DOWN.

Kindly tell me that how can we round the numeric value?
Example: 1.2 = 1.5, 1.7 = 2.0
