"Rounding up" is another name for "ceiling". The formula is:
(INT((X - 1) / N) + 1) * N
Where X is your original number and N is the divisor you are trying to round
to. For example, if X is 1 and N is 1000, INT(0/1000) is 0, and you end up
with (0 + 1) * 1000, or 1000. This will work all the way up to 1000, which
gives you INT(999/1000), still 0, so (0 + 1) * 1000 = 1000. At 1001,
however, you get INT(1000/1000) or 1, so you get (1 + 1) * 1000 = 2000.
Step functions rule.

From: Alan Shore Greg - this rounding algorithm is for rounding to the nearest whatever. NOT rounding UP to the nearest whatever.
