there are two parts to the formula
Excelchat Expert
30/03/2018 - 03:59
first we are dividing the number by 10 and taking integer and then multiplying by 10
Excelchat Expert
30/03/2018 - 03:59
so we will get 1570
Excelchat Expert
30/03/2018 - 03:59

Excelchat Expert
30/03/2018 - 03:59
which will give remainder when divided by 10
Excelchat Expert
30/03/2018 - 04:00
so if remainder is greater than 5 it is taking 9 as it is nearest
Excelchat Expert
30/03/2018 - 04:00
otherwise -1
