Returns:
Returns a real number that is the rounded value and is an integer multiple of the significance value.

Number is a real number, or a reference to a cell containing that number, that is the value to be rounded.

Significance is a real number, or a reference to a cell containing that number, that is the significance value to be used.


 * If either Number or Significance is non-numeric, then CEILING.XCL reports a #VALUE! error.
 * If either Number or Significance is equal to 0, then CEILING.XCL returns 0.
 * If Number is positive and Significance is negative, then CEILING.XCL reports an invalid argument error (Err:502).
