Rounding up an EXCEL formula

I'm stumped. I'm trying to round up to the nearest whole number as a multiple of 5. An example is: I use the formula =SUM(G6/.35) to get a number where G6 would be 317 and the sum for the formula would equal 916. I want to round up 916 to the nearest multiple of 5 to then equal 920. How can I write this as one formula?

Hi Treborpower,

You could use something like:
=ROUNDUP(G6/0.35/5,0)*5
but, because G6/0.35 = 905.7142857, the rounding up will return 910 - not the 920 you're looking for.
