I have made a schedule for room occupancy using a formula where the aea is divided by the load factor. I want to make sure that the reult is rounded up. How do I go about doing this?
Thanks

I don't think you can change Revit's rounding rules, it always round 0.49 down to 0 or 0.50 up to 1 if rounding to the nearest whole number. You can only change to which place holder it rounds. (nearest hundred, ten, whole number, tenth, etc.).
most jurisdictions I've worked in consider all fractions to be round up... regardless of the typical rules - 23.3 people should really count as 24 - if you can't control how Revit rounds that could lead to problems

In short if you want to be sure formulas are always rounded up add .5 to the resulting value, if you want to round down, subtract .5.
Post that in the tips and tricks section. Purely math but works like a charm
