states:

You can use:

     - Int( - [YourNumber] )

e.g.:

?-Int(-3.2)
  4

That was a very clever idea.  Graphing Int(x), flipping everything
across the Y axis (Right/Left) then flipping everything across the X
axis (Up/Down) shows that that ceiling function is good for all values of X.

Now, adjust the function so that it rounds up to the nearest 10:

-10 * Int(-X / 10#)

The '/ 10#' scales X up by a factor of 10 since 10 units in the new
coordinate system corresponds to 1 unit in the old coordinate system.
The '10 *' scales Y up by a factor of 10 since on the other side of the
equation it looked like Y/10.

Sample calculations:

-10 * Int(-32 / 10#) = -10 * 4 = 40   (32 -> 40)
-10 * Int(--5 / 10#) = -10 * 0 = 0    (-5 -> 0)
-10 * Int(--12 / 10#) = -10 * 1 = -10    (-12 -> -10)
-10 * Int(CCur(12) / 10#) = -10 * 1 = -1  (-$12 -> -10)

Perhaps throw in an NZ() around the field name to guard against Null
field values.
