Default IF function

Probably a rounding error - you might have 30.830000001 in one cell
and 30.82999999 in another - they are not exactly equal, although they
will look equal in the display. You might like to change the formula
to this:

=IF(ROUND(A1,2)<=ROUND(B1,2),"Correct","Overcharge d")

Hope this helps.
