simple spreadsheet which allocates numbers of duties depending upon number of
employees, allocations always need rounding up or down. I can do this but
need to put remainder ( i.e between -0.49 and +0.49 into a new cell in order
to carry forward to the next round of alocations) any ideas?

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish, but howze about:

A B C
1 # =round(A1,0) =B1-A1

or you might want to make C1 = -(B1-A1) so that rounding up shows a negative
availability.

Like pdberger I'm not sure what it is that you want but assuming that you
have a number divided between a number of people as evenly as possible then
to divide 100 between 7 people:

Put 100 in A14 then in A15 the formula:

=ROUND(A14/(7-(COLUMN(A15)-COLUMN())),0)

cell B15 the formula:

=ROUND(($A$14-SUM($A$15:A15))/(7-(COLUMN()-COLUMN($A$15))),0)

then drag it along to G15

The result should be:

14, 14.14, 15, 14, 15, 14

Hi sandy/pdberger,

I want to put the answer to a calculation into a cell, this figure will be
between 0 and 20 and will be similar to (i.e.) 14.45. I want the cell to
display 14 (rounded down) and display +0.45 in the cell next to it. Another
example is if the figure is 14.55, I want the cell to display 15 ( rounded up
) and the next cell to display minus 0.45 I allocate duties to areas and
need to be accurate with carry overs
 
Isn't that exactly what pdberger's suggestion does?
