Default MROUND

This (and the other answer) makes since. However, the sheet I
currently have is already maxed out on size for printing ease. If I
have another group of cells with the real numbers in them, I would be
adding another sheet when it is printed out which just can't happen. I
guess what I need is a way of displaying a rounded number but not
actually using it in any functions. Sort of like when you format a
cell to display $23.00 instead of $23.21. But I need it to show 1500
instead of 1622.

=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.
