Stange numbers
Hello all,
Some one in my office has ask me for help and I could not figure this out. The setup:you have a set of rows with number and those number are formatted with "Accounting" two decimals no symbol. When doing a manual sum or using the AutoSum, whey would my number come out like so 0.00 and not a dash? If you increase the decimal out there is a number, 0.00000000000000164316543. ?? The number are whole numbers, e.g. 24.25, 100.25, 562.64 ect. Thanks |

You may want to use the =ROUND() function to insure only two places are held.
This is in addition to formatting, which insures only two places are visible. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200800 "pgarcia" wrote: Hello all, Some one in my office has ask me for help and I could not figure this out.

It's a "rounding issue" that occurs when converting binary to decimal.
Use the ROUND function: =ROUND(SUM(A1:A10),2) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "pgarcia" wrote in message ... Hello all, Some one in my office has ask me for help and I could not figure this out.
