    Does that apply to the unobtainable score of 19 in a cribbage hand, and whatever it is in rugby union?

        It's VBA


        I got round it by looping through the values and jiggling with the number type.
        not quite as good as a dither, but it works
        users say they will accept diferent numbers for the same % , so long as the bottom line is correct


        public dblRoundmeUpAS double
        public lngLastRoundmeUp as long

        function RoundmeUp(myVal)


        dblRoundmeUp = dblRoundmeUp + myVal
        RoundmeUp = CLng(dblRoundmeUp) - lngLastRoundmeUp
        lngLastRoundmeUp = dblRoundmeUp

        end

        I'm sh1t as maths me
