Hello,

I've been measuring weights and recording them in excel. The problem
is that I want to keep a record of the accuracy of the measurements.
That is, if I enter 6.10, I want to know that the trailing zero is
there - I don't want excel to change it to 6.1. The way I've tackled
this is to enter numbers in text format.

However, this now presents a problem, as excel won't use text-formatted
numbers in any calculations. That is, if I do at SUM() function with
the cell with 6.10 entered as text, it treats the cell as having a
value of 0.

Any suggestions for a solution to this would be much appreciated.
Thanks very much.

Best,
Alex Shenkin
