Default IF STATEMENT

Sierra, you've moved all the goal posts!

But, I think/hope, what you are asking here is how to add .01 when there are
2 decimal places, .001 when there are 3 decimal places, etc., is that
correct?

If so, then you need something like:

B9+1*10^-(LEN(B9)-FIND(".",B9))

instead of B9+0.1

Ok. Now I have the following problem:
The following numbers are in column B:

B3 2.0
B4 1.1
B5 1.02

My formula is =IF(COUNTIF(B9:G9,"*"),ROUNDUP(B9,0),B9+0.1), because I want
the number in B3 & B4 to be 1.2 but for B5 I want it to be 1.03.

How do I change the formula or add on to it to reflect numbers that have
an
extra space?

=IF(COUNTIF(C3:F3,"*"),ROUNDUP(B3,0),B3+0.01)
what does the "*" represent?


The * (asterisk) is a wildcard that means " any TEXT ".

My mistake Rick, it did work. Thank you soo much. Question though:
what
does
the "*" represent? Does it represent "every" cell? Thank you again.

Does this do what you want?

=IF(COUNTIF(C3:F3,"*"),ROUNDUP(B3,0),B3+0.01)

What I am trying to accomplish is
that if c3:f3 are blank, then I want the number in b3 to be added to
.01.
If
there is a character in c3:f3, then I want the number in b3 to be
rounded
up
to the next whole number and the answer reflected in g3.

I want it to determine that if *any* cell (c3:f3) has a character in
it,
then b3 needs to be rounded up by a whole #.

I have an if statement that says
=if(ISBLANK(C3:F3),ROUNDUP(B3,0),b3+.01)

First off, the statement does not seem to evaluate the "roundup"
part,
meaning that the statement is backwards. What I am trying to
accomplish
is
that if c3:f3 are blank, then I want the number in b3 to be added
to
.01.
If
there is a character in c3:f3, then I want the number in b3 to be
rounded
up
to the next whole number and the answer reflected in g3.

If I were to do the formula as is, and left the row blank then it
would
add
.01 to b3, but if later I wanted to change the outcome and put a
character
into c3:f3, shouldn't the answer automatically round b3 to the next
whole
number or would I have to re-write the formula.
