Hi,

Whats the easiest way to round numbers up.

For example, a calculation that results in a value of 1.3 will round to 1,
and a calculation that results in 1.8 will round to 2.

My issue that I want the 1.3 to always round up to 2, as to round down to 1
results is short supply of stock, which is worse than an over supply.

My only thoughts is to manually add 0.5 to every number and therefore it
would have that effect, but is there a better way to do this ?

Thanks

As the others said, Math.Ceiling(double). Just be aware of what it does for
negative values. The value for -7.1 will be -7. This is by design, but
often people want the value further from zero.
