    I want to round off the figures as follows
    if it is 1.1,it should  be 2, if it is 1.2 or 1.3  etc to 2  just like 2.1 to 3, 2.3 etc. to 3 like that.
    is it possible ?

    with regards to maths, you can not do that type of rounding.

    Anything is possible but the big question should be – is it reasonable?  There various rules for rounding.  The one I was taught lo these many years ago is
    if it is < X.5 you round down to X.
    if it is > X.5 you round up to X+1
    if it is = X.5 and X is even you round down to X and if X is odd you round up to X+1.
    I’m sure there are others who can give you empirical rules that are similar.

    Yes, of course you can do it. 
    In Excel, the command is “ROUNDUP”.
