custom to ##.## this worked for me. -- -John Please rate when your question is answered to help us and others know what is helpful.

Round a whole column of numbers
If you just want to display the number to 2 decimal places then use John's
solution but note that just changing the formatting will leave the full number in the cell not a rounded number. If you want to actually change the number to only the number rounded to the nearest 0.01 then I would use a helper column and enter the formula: =ROUND(A22/0.01,0)*0.01 and copy down using the fill handle and then copy and Paste Special onto the original data and then delete the helper column. -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk "Dabbles" wrote in message ...

Round a whole column of numbers
I'm obviously missing something? Why =ROUND(A22/0.01,0)*0.01 and not
=ROUND(A22,2), Sandy? -- David Biddulph "Sandy Mann" wrote in message ...
