REMARKS

* CEILING.MATH was added in Excel 2013 to replace this function.
* Negative decimal numbers are always rounded up (away from zero). The CEILING.MATH function gives you a choice.
* This function is only available for backwards compatibility and should not be used.
* This function does not appear in the Function Wizard or the Cell AutoComplete.
* There was also a FLOOR.PRECISE that rounded the number down.
* If "significance" is left blank, then 1 is used.
* This function was added in Excel 2010 to replace the CEILING function.
