incorrect totals using rounded numbers
Formula for col. H is =SUM(C8*F8) where C8 is a dollar amt with 2 decimal
pts. and F8 is a figure formatted as "custom" but is actually a percentage displayed as 0.1234567 (7 decimal pts.) The result displays as a dollar amount with 2 decimal points. All is well UNTIL I total column H, using =SUM(H8:H20). The total is off 2 cents! Apparently it is not totaling the figures displayed as currency with 2 decimal points, but rather the unrounded results of of the formula "=sum(C8*F8). How do I correct this??? -- Alexis |
