Do be aware that the cell does not actually EQUAL 0, it simply APPEARS to be
so. You need to use something along the lines of both mine and Joe's
answers such as the ROUND function if you actually need it to really be an
absolute 0.

Thanks much!!! I formated the cell to "numbers" and it gave the correct
answer. Kinda wierd that the other cells are "general" and work fine....


Anyway................you have taught me a new tool and fixed the
problem:)

Probably nothing.

See here for the probable cause:

Ignore the fact that the page says Excel 97, as you aill also see in the
small print it actually applies to all versions of Excel.

If you simply format to acctg or some numerical format and a few decimal
places of precision, it will appear as 0.

I have a simple calculation C8-C14 that I use to figure my budget
difference. It works in all the monthly columns I have set up except
for
one. I get a result of

-1.42109E-13

What could I have done wrong?????
