I think the problem is caused not by your definition of
the variable type but by the fact that there is a limit
to the binary accuracy in translating decimal numbers
into binary.

2 ways around :

easiest way is to make sure that the destination cell is
formatted in number format with only 2 decimals

more complicated : instead of putting 10.50, put 1050 as
an integer and use a simple formula "=A1/100" to convert.

I am having trouble writing a variable (defined as a
single) from a macro into a given cell. I have several
subtotals (Billing by dept) in the macro that are
numbers
(2 decimals). When I write these numbers to a cell in
a
new worksheet, any odd decimals (Not .25, .50, .75) are
changed slightly (Ex: 100.06 becomes
100.059997558593). I
think this is because they are entered as a variant.
There's probably an easy fix, but I can't find
anything in
the help files.

Thanks in advance!

Parker,
Dimension your variable as double.
