Hi,
I cannot get this to work. If I enter a time of 13:34 with an interval of 15 I thout it would go to 13:45,

DECLARE @Dt DATETIME;
SET @Dt = CAST(’2013-01-18 13:34.123′ AS DATETIME);
SELECT dbo.RoundTime(@dt,15)

How would you modify this function to always round up, and not up or down to the closest x mins?

for ,
SELECT dbo.roundtime(GETDATE(),5)
result should come ’2012-11-02 12:35:00.000′, but it came ’2012-11-02 12:34:59.997′

My suggested solution is :
SELECT DATEADD(mi,ROUND(DATEDIFF(mi,0,@Time)*1.0/@RoundToMin,0)*@RoundToMin,0)

It is a very useful function. Refer to the script, may I know what is the purpose of converting datetime to varchar and back to dateime ? i.e. CONVERT(VARCHAR,@Time,121) AS DATETIME
