R round to nearest .5 or .1

Question

I have a data set of stock prices that have already been rounded to 2 decimal places (1234.56). I am now trying to round to a specific value which is different

Answer 1

Like what JoshO'Brien said in the comments: round_any in the package plyr works very well!

> library(plyr)
> stocks <- c(123.45, 155.03, 138.24, 129.94)
> round_any(stocks,0.1)
[1] 123.4 155.0 138.2 129.9
> 
> round_any(stocks,0.5)
[1] 123.5 155.0 138.0 130.0
> 
> round_any(stocks,0.1,f = ceiling)
[1] 123.5 155.1 138.3 130.0
> 
> round_any(stocks,0.5,f = floor)
[1] 123.0 155.0 138.0 129.5
