Rounding and dropping digits
Hello,
Is there a way to round a number and than drop to only show a portion of it. For example: 567,549 to appear as 568. Thank you. |

Thank you but it did not work. The result was the number in A1.

If you have 567,549 in one cell (A1) and you want 568 in another cell, you can do: =round(A1/1000,0) Similarly, if you have a formula in a cell (A1) and you want to change the formula so that it displays only thousands: =round((formula)/1000,0) The parentheses around "formula" may or may not be needed, depending on the formula. But if you want the cell value to remain 567,549 and only appear as 568, I believe you need a formatting option to do that, and I am not aware of any that does. |

Duh, what Gord wrote, namely the custom format #,##0, Note the comma at the end. I missed it when I read Gord's posting. Also, no need to round to thousands first. ----- original message ----- "JoeU2004" wrote in message ... "Marissa" wrote: Is there a way to round a number and than drop to only show a portion of it.
