If 219.40 is being rounded down to 219.35 then 219.40 is not the true
underlying value of the cell. It might be something like 219.399999999999
but, due to formatting, is displaying as 219.40.

So, the result of the formula, =FLOOR(G1,0.05) = 219.35, is correct.



Thanks, I finally understood it. The cell 219.198 was shown as 219.20.
Thats why it when I used =FLOOR(G1,0.05) it showed me 219.15 which is
correct.

Thanks so much again.

Excel will never calculate a result of 219.40. It will calculate 219.4.
The only way to get the terminating 0 is to use formatting and formatting
is for display purposes only.

Using that formula the only time RIGHT(A3,1)=0 will be TRUE is if you
first correct it to read:

RIGHT(A3,1)="0"

If 219.40 is being rounded down to 219.35 then 219.40 is not the true
underlying value of the cell. It might be something like 219.399999999999

Hi,

Thanks so much for such a quick reply. I tried your function
=FLOOR(G1,0.05) on my worksheet, but on few cells it gave me result
like
this

219.40---219.35 which should remain 219.40
219.55---219.50 which should remain 219.55

I wonder why it happened. Please help me on this too. Thanks.

Hi friends, i have a small query if you got little time. i have many
numbers in an excel worksheet and i want to round them up only for
decimal
places and that too like this way.
219.39---219.35
219.32---219.30
219.34---219.30
219.37---219.35

I mean decimal places must end in .05, .10, .15, .20, .25, .30, so on.
what is the function for this result. thanks in advance.
