Hi Lisa

You don't need sum(cell)*17.5% just A1*17.5% will suffice.
That having been said, entering 18861.75 on my machine and multiplying by
17.5% gives 3269.30625 which shows as 3269.31 when displayed to 2 decimal
places.

If you have a multiline invoice, then because the individual amounts will be
different from that which you are "seeing" on the screen, the sum of them
may well be less than the amount you would get if you totalled the displayed
values.

As far as HMCE are concerned, a diference of .01 in the VAT amount is quite
acceptable.

the formula for the vat is sum(cell)*17.5%. total is just sum(cells). it
seems to be only one entry that is causing the problem. everything is fine
until this cell has a value in it. if i enter the value manually it is fine.

£18,681.75 £3,269.31 £21,951.06

this is the data with the problem.

Thanks, Lisa

Hi Lisa
Can you post some examples of your data, the formula you are using for the
VAT calculation and the formula you are using to total.
