RE: Ceiling for numbers with unit
There is a way (floor also): I shall look it up (have to find correct sheets) and I will advise.

RE: Ceiling for numbers with unit
My MathCAD 2000 (best ever version) came on a disc and with a 700 page printed manual.
It (the manual)says;
floor(x) Greatest integer <= x (x real)
ceil (x) same
It does work..
However, see attachment for use with units.
Pleased to be of help

RE: Ceiling for numbers with unit
Remark: I am not sure if Mathcad 2000 already provided the built-in fuction "Ceil" (note the capital C).
If its available in your version you can use it like "Ceil(18.2 mm, mm)=...mm"
If not you may define your own: Ceil(a,b):=ceil(a/b)*b
RE: Ceiling for numbers with unit
I have checked the manual; and it says ceil (lower case)
and it does work in that format. MathCAD 200 does have ceil and floor
as built in functions.
I hope this time the file is attached.
