Default Rounding with the sum formula

You have the DISPLAY set to SHOW zero decimal places but the actual value in
the cell will still have the full calculated value. Thus you are adding the
full numbers not the *displayed* numbers. Either round each number to zero
decimal places using the ROUND() function on each entry or select "Precision
as displayed" in Tools Options Calculations

I have the cells in a cloumn set to zero decimal places however when I
use the SUM in the same column it seams to be rounding up.

Does anyone know how to get the SUM just to add the visible number in
each cell in that column without doing any rounding?

Thanks

Peter
