CEILING function based on incorrect formula, gives incorrect answers (eg, CEILING (-4.5) = -4, not -5 as incorrectly calculated by ISO/IEC DIS 29500). Also, CEILING provides incorrect help text

Correct errors in formula and help text

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment AU-0030 (Modified: 2007-11-24) We agree that, as defined, the CEILING function does not follow the generally accepted practice for negative numbers. However, in order to maintain compatibility with the corpus of existing documents that use the CEILING function and rely on its current behaviour, no change will be made to Part 4, ยง3.17.7.33 page 2,559.
