Default Summing Values that are True and Not Rounded

Anita, Hi,

If you know it is 5.2345 not 5.23 can I assume that the real value is
somewhere else.

Can you tell me what the formula is in B3, and also B4 to see the pattern?

Thank you for your suggestion. As an alternative, how can I sum up the
rounded values but not the values in the cell? For example: B3 = 5.23
(but it's really 5.2345) and B4=3.23 (3.23111)

How can I add the two and get the true answer even though B3:B4 are
answers using the ROUND function. Note: I didn't create this
spreadsheet.

If you mean that you want to sum the un-rounded values, I think you have
a
problem. If it is values, then how can you possibly know what it was
rounded
from? If it is formula relating to other cells, you might be able to
concoct
a formula that uses those original cells.

If on the other hand it is just formatted to 2 dec places, no problem.
Just
sum them.

derived using the ROUND function to 2 decimal places. In my total
column, I want the values of the data added in it's true form. How

I do it?

Hopefully I've explained it right.
