Problems truncating a column
I have a column of numbers on a sheet w/22,000 rows, I'm trying to truncate
the decimal. If I try =Trunc(a2,0) on 1.093 I get 1 which is what I want. But if I copy the cell to fill the rest of the column, 0 will truncate to 1. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help, |

Problems truncating a column
You should not...
Do you mean to say that =TRUN(0,0) is giving you 1? Can you post the number which is truncating to 1? I tried with 1.0989 2.0989 3.0989 4.0989 5.0989 0 and got 1 2 3 4 5 0 "Abbey Normal" wrote: I have a column of numbers on a sheet w/22,000 rows, I'm trying to truncate the decimal.

Problems truncating a column
I wasn't including the number in the formula. I was including the cell, and
then copying it down the entire column. Is that not acceptable on this formula? "Abbey Normal" wrote: I have a column of numbers on a sheet w/22,000 rows, I'm trying to truncate the decimal.

Problems truncating a column
I just gave that as an example... you can use cell reference in the formula
(as in any Excel formula)... I meant to say that does the cell with 0 is giving you the problem when you use TRUN on it? Pl. paste the no which is giving you trouble and the result.
