Accounting format returns a - for zero other cells show 0.0 Why?
Cell format set to accounting returns a - for zero. The sample box also shows
-. On other cells with accounting format 0.00 is returned and the sample box shows 0.00. How can the sample be changed to give me a consistent format? Many thanks |

Accounting format returns a - for zero other cells show 0.0 Why?
Maybe ur cell which shows 0.00 is not zero, but value close to zero having
some decimal value at 3th or further decimal place, e.g. 0.001, 0.00000099 or so. Did you try to round on two decimal places first?

A value of 0.004 will display as 0.00 in accounting format. It means your
answer is close to zero, but it's not zero. If you want this displayed as -, the round the result, as in: =round(yourformula,2) Regards, Fred. "The Bookeeper" <The wrote in message ...
