Hi,

If you expand the decimals in F11 and F12, the result is 0.699999999999999.
So the FALSE answer is correct. The reason for the answer not being 0.7 is
conversion of numbers from decimal and binary and vice versa.

To solve this problem, you may use the round function =ROUND(E10,0)=0.7

Hi,

Please help in understanding this:

Cells d10,d11,d12 have the value 10.7 in them
Cell e10 has the value .7 directly input
Cell e11 has the value .7 derived by the formula =d11-int(d11)
Cell e12 has the value .7 dervied by the formula = e11-trunc(e11)
When values in cells e10,e11,e12 are tested for =.7, cell f10 shows
true, f11 and f12 show false. Why?

Thanks in Advance for the Help.

Raj
