>The point I am making, is that I have a variable containing the sum, and I want that result rounded to one decimal place (9.5), I then want to issue ROUND() on this variable ROUND(nVar,0) to give me 10. But ROUND() insists on knocking the decimal places back to 9.46.

Maybe you missed this or I didn't explain it well enough. Since you want to round your value assuming only one decimal place, you can add 1/2 of the next decimal place unit to the number. In your case that would be .05 to be added.

So 9.46 + .05, rounded to 0 places would yield 10. 9.44 + .05 would still yield 9, while 9.45 + .05 would yield 10.

ROUND(7/74*100+.05,0) --> 10
