Default MROUND

=MROUND is performing a calculation (i.e., rounding) so what you see in the
cell is what you get. Therefore when you sum these rounded numbers you are
summing rounded numbers, not their original, unrounded values.

A possible solution is for you to have a helper column of unrounded values
and sum off that column.

Hello,

I am using the MROUND function to display a series of number like 1622
as 1500. The problem I am having is that I am summing all of these
cells and it sums the newly rounded number. What I would like to
happen is the individual cells to display the rounded number but have
the cell with the SUM in it display the sum of the actual, unrounded
number. Is there a way to do this? Any help is much appreciated.
