Hello folks,

Have you encountered this in your Excel? I am using Excel 2000 SP3.

Let's say you have:
Column A1: 57.16
Column B1: 27.74
Column C1: 84.90

In Column D1, you have this formula: =($A$1+$B$1)-$C$1. Result would be
0
But if you have this formula in column E1: =IF(($A$1+$B$1)-$C$1) = 0,
"it
is zero", "it is not zero"). Result would be "it is not zero".
Strange
huh?

It seems that it only happens to this set of number.

Do you have the same result in the other Excel version?

Thank you.
