Default Sum Function

If you don't want to change the underlying value, but want to display with 2
decimal places, use Format Cells/ Number/ 2 places instead of ROUND.
If you use ROUND, it changes the numbers, and hence the total is likely to
change.

I have cells that have numbers that are 3 and 4 digits beyond the decimal
point . I need them to have 2 digits beyond the decimal point. So I used
the
=ROUND(cell,2) to round to 2 digits beyond the decimal. However, the sum
of
my original column and the sum of my new column are different from each
other. They should be the same.

How do I truncate the extra digits beyond the decimal point without
changing
the sum?
