Default Rounding numbers then doing a sum of those numbers produces incorrect result.

Hi,
Formatting does not change the underlying value. It only changes the
appearance.
Toolsoptioncalculation workbook options, check "precision as displayed".

I have a row of numbers that gets calculated from two other rows. I
formatted this row as a number with two decimal places. I then take that

row
of numbers and do a sum on it but it produces a result that is one cent

off
the actual total (because I think it is adding the whole number and not

the
rounded format that I chose). Is there anyway to fix this?

Thanks
