You're doing somthing wrong somewhere, because Excel comes up with 4160.375,
as do I when I use the old paper & pencil! Time for a new calculator!!

I am calculating state sales tax. My calculator and the state's agree -
Excel's does not. For example, in the calculation 66,566 times 6.25% o my
calculator and the state come up with 4,159.75. Using in the formula 66,566 *
.0625 in a cell results in 4,159.72.
Similar discrepancies occur all the way through the spreadsheet. I can only
surmise that there's a built-in round up or down function being performed and
I can't figure out how to discontinue it.
