how do i add more to a formula without going into each cell?
 

I have a value in a cell, say A2 =5.62345. And I want to add a formula to
this value in this cell, basically =round(5.62345, 2), but i have 30+ cells
with values and I don't want to go into each cell individually. is there
anyway to avoid this?

Thanks!

Hi,

you can do it by using another column like below:

A B
1 0.5845 =round(A1,2)
2 12.69585
3 15.65824
4 0.52548
..
..
..
and then copy the fomula in B1 down to where ever you want.

Thanks,

You cannot have a value AND formula in the same cell.

Use a helper column with =ROUND(A2,2) ... copy down ... and then Copy, Paste
Special == Values if you want to remove the formula.

Thanks. But I'd like to keep the original number in the formula, and not A1
or A2, etc.

Thanks.

try this:

1 0.5845 ="=round("&A1&",2)"
2 12.69585
3 15.65824
4 0.52548
.
.
.
and then copy the fomula in B1 down to where ever you need
then copy and paste special value the cells that you made ( column B) in
to the another column and then active the tird column ( say column C) go to
menu: Tools Text to column and flollow instruction.

hope this works for you.

You could use a macro. Select the cells to fix and run this:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim myCell As Range
For Each myCell In Selection.Cells
myCell.Formula = "=Round(" & myCell.Value & ",2)"
Next myCell
End Sub

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:

how do i add more to a formula without going into each cell?
 

I'm trying to use this macro but am having an application, unknown object
error:

Option Explicit
Sub round_made_easy()
Dim myCell As Range
For Each myCell In Selection.Cells
myCell.Formula = "=Round(" & myCell.Formula & ",2)"
Next myCell
End Sub

Now when I try the above it gives me an application error.
But with the following code that you gave me it works great.

Option Explicit
Sub round_made_easy()
Dim myCell As Range
For Each myCell In Selection.Cells
myCell.Formula = "=Round(" & myCell.Value & ",2)"
Next myCell
End Sub

why won't it work for a cell that is =1258/4569871 and keep the 1258/4569871
in the cell's formula of =Round(1258/4569871, 2) ???

Thanks!

because the formula includes the "=", so you'd wind up with
=ROUND(=1258/4569871,2) and Excel doesn't like the 2nd equal sign!

Try this version which preserves the formula in the cell.

Sub RoundAdd()
Dim myStr As String
Dim cel As Range
For Each cel In Selection
If cel.HasFormula = True Then
If Not cel.Formula Like "=ROUND(*" Then
myStr = Right(cel.Formula, Len(cel.Formula) - 1)
cel.Value = "=ROUND(" & myStr & "," & "2" & ")"
End If
End If
Next
End Sub
