Default Urgent - Having trouble with decimals

You have the Sub-total to 4dp
Are the calculated GST and QST values actualy to 4 decimal places
or do these get rounded when actually applied, ie when paid ?
If these are rounded to 2dp's when paid, they should be
rounded here in excel as well - before producing the total

Anyway same function =rounddown(cell,2)

Thank you for responding so fast! Unfortunately, the display I'm
getting is
not what I was looking for. Here's my actual data:

OUR FEES $2,822.50
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES $141.13
SUB-TOTAL $2,963.6300
GST $177.8178
QST $235.6086
TOTAL $3,377.0564

What am I looking for is to get the total to stay at $3,377.05. If I use
Rounddown, how do I insert it in my formula?

Sorry about insisting...

Good day,

This is an urgent request... We are adding fees and taxes, but do not
want
numbers to round.

Here's what we need:

SUB-TOTAL $2,963.6300

GST $177.8178

QST $235.6086


TOTAL CA $3,377.0564

We would like the total to show $3,377.05 and not $3,377.06.

What formula should we use? By the way, the GST was obtained by
multiplying
the first total by 0.05, the QST by multiplying GST and first total by
0.075.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Helene
