  Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

Round a number to the nearest multiple of a given precision.
The precision may not equal zero. A negative or positive precision gives the same result.

The result of this function is similar to bankersrounding, except that you can choose any precision:
RoundToMultiple ( 1.045 ; 0.02 ) <=> 1.04
RoundToMultiple ( 1.055 ; 0.02 ) <=> 1.06
