How-to Guide

1. Create a formula field and use CEILING

Entry point: Add Field → Formula

  1. Open your multidimensional table and go to the target data table.
  2. Click Add Field.
  3. Select Formula as the field type.
  4. Enter a formula that includes CEILING in the formula editor.
  5. Click Confirm to save and check whether the result appears in the new field.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: A new formula field appears and shows a calculated result.
  • What you can do next: You can continue editing the formula or reuse it in other records.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If you do not choose the Formula field type first, you cannot enter a function formula correctly.
  • Environment note: You need edit permission for the current multidimensional table.

2. Set up CEILING parameters

Entry point: Formula Editor → Function Input Area

  1. Open the formula editor in an existing formula field.
  2. Type CEILING( to start the formula.
  3. Enter the target value and rounding multiple as needed.
  4. Check that parentheses, commas, and referenced fields are complete.
  5. Save the formula and verify that the result matches your expectation.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: The formula saves successfully without a syntax error.
  • What you can do next: When you change the parameters, the result updates accordingly.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: Incomplete parameters or mismatched field types can cause an error.
  • Environment note: Test with a small sample first when you need to verify how to use the CEILING function in WPS on Windows.

3. Combine CEILING with other formulas

Entry point: Formula Editor → Combined Function Input

  1. Open the formula field where you want to build a combined calculation.
  2. Decide how the CEILING result will be used in the larger logic.
  3. Enter CEILING together with other functions in the required order.
  4. Save the formula and check whether each record updates automatically with source data changes.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: The combined formula saves successfully and returns a result.
  • What you can do next: You can continue adding conditions or referencing more fields.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: It is easy to miss parentheses in nested formulas.
  • Environment note: For more complex spreadsheet rounding logic, test each part separately before combining them.
