Divide by thousand, round, multiply with thousand.

Try this:

Public Function RoundToLeft(d As Double, digits As Integer) As Double
	Dim rounding As Double = Math.Pow(10.0, digits)
	Return Math.Round(d / rounding, 0, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero) * rounding
End Function

If you call it:

Console.WriteLine(RoundToLeft(d, 0))  ->  16714
Console.WriteLine(RoundToLeft(d, 1))  ->  16710
Console.WriteLine(RoundToLeft(d, 2))  ->  16700
Console.WriteLine(RoundToLeft(d, 3))  ->  17000
Console.WriteLine(RoundToLeft(d, 4))  ->  20000

Solution 2

Here is another:

VB

Public Function Ceiling(ByVal value As Decimal, Optional ByVal nearest As Decimal = 1) As Decimal
	Return (Int(value / nearest) - If((value / nearest - Int(value / nearest) > 0D), -1D, 0D)) * nearest
End Function

To use:

VB

Dim newValue = Ceiling(3.14D, 0.5D) ' = 3.5
