Need Excel formula to identify ATM Strike

    Can someone help me with the Excel formula to give the nearest ATM strike with a given underlying price and strike increment?

    Additionally, is this more processing intensive than simply creating a label row for option chain as ATM/ITM and OTM?

    =IF(A19<$A$2,"ITM",IF(A19=$A$2,"ATM","OTM"))


    Thank you.

    I use this:

    =MROUND(D16*EXP(1)^(D19*(D20/365)),D21)

    where
    D16 = ex-dividend spot
    D19 = interest rate
    D20 = time to maturity (dte)
    D21 = strike difference

    MROUND. What a useful function! Thanks, Jack.
