Assuming that you mean $2.50, rather than $1.50, then try either
=ROUND(A2,2)+ROUND(A3,2)
or
Tools/ Options/ Calculation: Precision as displayed.

I have two values in two seperate cells:

$1.254
$1.254

I have them both set to show 2 decimals so it reads:

$1.25
$1.25

So when I add them together with a third cell set at 2 decimal places it
reads:

$2.51 - because it is adding $1.254 + $1.254 = $2.508 and it is rounding
up.

Can I get this to read: $1.50?
