round up calculations
Hi all,
I am using excel to calculate numbers with percentage increases. I am using simple calculation formulas that reads the number on the 1st box and then based on the % that I want to increase the number, gives me the increased number on the next box. However, the calculation is based on the delimited number that is on the first box - although I have hide the delimits on the screen. The question here is how can I make the system calculate the % based on the rounded number that I can see on the screen and not on the delimited number which is actualy hidden behind the rounded number? Thanks a lot for your help. |

round up calculations
Hi georana,
You could try wrapping your formula with a ROUND function (eg =ROUND(A1*B2,2) rounds a number to two decimal places). There's also a ROUNDUP and ROWNDOWN function.

round up calculations
If you have rounded the display of the first cell to 2 decimal places for
example, then you could use =ROUND(A1,2)*(105%) Another potion is to use Tools/ Options/ Calculation/ Precision as displayed, but remember that the latter option will lose the original precise data, so you may well wish to save a copy before you go down that route. -- David Biddulph "georana" wrote in message ...
