You would have to create a UDF to allow you access to the VBA macro
implementation or roll your own very clumsy implementation via a string
intermediate stage. More details about Excel rounding online at:

It still isn't pretty since you will have to add and subtract 1 in the
LSB to get weathermens rounding as opposed to bankers rounding.
