I have given you two suggestions. If neither of those is acceptable you may
wish to define your own upper and lower limits.
Your suggestion of =IF(ROUND(F46,0)=0,"< Balanced ","< Unbalanced ") will
give Balanced for any value between -0.5 and 0.5.
If that is what you want, then use it.
If you want to define another (arbitrary) pair of limits, try something like
=IF(AND(F46lowerlimit,F46<upperlimit)=0,"< Balanced ","< Unbalanced ")
and put your limits in cells which you can reference in the formula.
What limits do you want to set?

Have you test the formula? its would still return unbalance as it give
0.01
which is < 0

Do you means =IF(ROUND(F46,0)=0,"< Balanced ","< Unbalanced ")
and Format Cells Number Number Decinal places 2

Hope this is helpful

Thank You

Well, if you format that to 2 places, that will be 0.01.
If that is what you want to use, you could change
=IF(F46=0,"< Balanced ","< Unbalanced ") to
=IF(ROUND(F46,2)=0,"< Balanced ","< Unbalanced ")

If you don't want to use ROUND, you might prefer ROUNDDOWN

I am using the formula below to say if a cell is 0 then the message is
Balanced.
This has always worked ok until now, but if the cell is 0.009999 for
example, it reads Unbalanced. As this is a sheet with Number formatted
to
2
decimal places I still want it to read Balanced. I have tried
formatting
the
cell in many different ways, even moving the cell elsewhere on the
sheet,
but
unable to find the solution.
I have checked all cells in the calculation chain for errors in
inputting
which is giving me the rogue total, but to no avail.
Does it need a better formula than the one I have to specifically bar
numbers after 0.00 so that the cell will read Balanced? Help much
appreciated. Thanks.


IF(F46=0,"< Balanced ","< Unbalanced ")
