Solidworks BOM - ROUNDUP

Solidworks BOM - ROUNDUP

Solidworks BOM - ROUNDUP

(OP)
We are currently implementing a new system using solidworks. One of our practices is to send a customer a percentage of the hardware as "Spares". I have been able to add a custome property to each hardware item called "Spare" and have it set to 0.1 for 10% or 0.05 for 5%. Then in the Spares column of Solidworks based BOM, I used an equation of 'QTY' * `SPARE`. Which works quite well.

However, my question is: If I have 91 parts, then the Spares column shows 9.1

It is our standard to ALWAYS roundup the number to 10 for example. Has anyone found a way to do this? I can do it just fine with excel, however I am trying to use the solidworks based BOM.
