Default Round a repeating decimal from a formula...

You still refuse to supply the underlying cell value, the rounding method
you use, if rounding with a formula, and the format you applied to the
cell.
I am not a mind reader.

I should have elaborated better. After more screwing with it, it seems as
though no decimal will round to two places. 7/8 comes out to .875, 5/4
results 1.25 as they should, but the formula refuses to round.

By solid result I mean something that divides cleanly (not a whole number
quotient), such as 5/4 = 1.25

What is a "solid result"? Are you saying that 1.456456456 does not
round to
1.46? And that 1.456123789 does round to 1.46?

here's my situation: I need to round all decimals that result from an
IMDIV
function to two decimal places. I have Excel 2007, I have already
tried
numerous ROUND functions, formatted the cells to round to two decimal
places.
But on repeating decimals it will not round, only on solid results it
will
round to two decimal places, thanks in advance.
