Yeah!
Minor tweak and it's working:
function roundUp500 theNumber
return trunc((theNumber-1)/500+1)*500
end roundUp500
Many thanks Mark and Brian. I love this group.

Another variant:
trunc(n + (500 - (n mod 500)))

Hi Hugh,
function roundUp500 theNumber
return trunc(theNumber/500+1)*500
end roundUp500
