2. Round Numbers UpFor example, rounding off to 5 means both 0.123454 and 0.123456 results in 0.12346For example, rounding off to -2 means both 140 and 160 results in 200

3. Round Numbers DownFor example, rounding off to 5 means both 0.123454 and 0.123456 results in 0.12345For example, rounding off to -2 means both 140 and 160 results in 100

4. Remove DecimalsFor example, 1.23 becomes 1, 123.456 becomes 123

5. Remove IntegersFor example, 1.23 becomes 0.23, 123.456 becomes 0.456

Custom Functions, How to use them

Custom Functions can make life a lot easier but unlike in-built Excel functions like SUM or TODAY, there are some things to keep in mind when working with them.

1. They can be entered with either upper or lower text. But keep in mind that Excel will continue to show them in the same case as they are entered the first time.

2. Custom Functions must exist in all files that use them, otherwise they will show as a #NAME? error. If your files are used on several computers, you must install them in each one. To do this, use Add JMT Functions To Workbook from the Other Utilities menu.

3. Depending on your security settings, you may be asked to enable macros. This is normal and must be enabled each time so the custom functions can work.

JMT Excel Utilities

Thank you for buying these utilities.

Some general advice -

1. When working with these utilities, keep in mind that a lot of them loop through cells, areas, sheets, etc. Therefore it may be in your best interests to narrow your selection as much as possible to reduce time for the code to complete. Avoid doing things like selecting entire columns unless you really have to - some of these utilies however are almost instantaneous.

2. When using them for the first time, it might be a good idea to test first to make sure the utilities are working as expected. We recommend you back up your work at regular intervals as a safety measure. That said, to the best of our knowlege, none of these utilities should create problems if used correctly. (Please see the disclaimer in our Read Me file)

We hope they come in useful. Please send any feedback or suggestions to our email address ([email protected])
