*3,290,409.32 * <= They need to add up to this

Now if you actually did add all those numbesr up it would come out
right...except those values actually are a lot longer than just 2
digits after the decimal...so sometimes when i sum those up...i am off
01 or.02 give or take...so what i want to do in the total cell is
round all the numbers to 2 decimal places and and those values up...is
this possible?

Thanks!
Tom

When I add up those numbers I get a different answer:

3,136,871.05


But that's probably due to a typo or a missing value in what you posted.

In any event, to ROUND to two decimals and then SUM the result, use the
following *array-entered* formula:

=SUM(ROUND(A1:A24,2))

To *array-enter* a formula, after typing or pasting the formula into the
formula bar, hold down <ctrl<shift while hitting <enter. Excel will place
braces {...} around the formula if you did it correctly.
