I am summing cells that are based on the results of a formula and the result
is displayed to 2 decimal places. However the total sum doesn't match the sum
of the numbers displayed in the cells.

How do I get the sum to equal the displayed amounts in the cell versus the
sum of the unrounded cell amounts?

Thanks

Tools/Options/Calculation/check "precision as displayed"

Formatting a cell only changes what is displayed. It doesn't alter the value
in the cell. You should write your individual formulas to round as required:
=ROUND(your_formula,2)

Or write the SUM formula to do this to each before adding them:
=SUM(ROUND(your_range,2))
