Not an error, but merely that binary representation won't represent a number
like 70.41 exactly (just as decimal won't represent 1/3 exactly, but will
approximate it as 0.33333 ... with however many decimal places you choose to
use).

As an excercise, try to work out the binary representation for your
114470.41, then you'll start to understand what Excel is doing.

Hi,
I found a Calculation error in Excel 2003.

A1 = 114470.41
A2 = 114400.00
A3 = 70.41

A5 = A1 -A2
A6 = A3 - A5

Note: Excel is suppose to give as result 0.00, however it's giving
(-3.49587025993969E-12)'

Can I get an answer on this? if there is a way that can be resolve or will
be resolve in the future.
