Can you remove excess decimal places in Excel?
I use excel to work out formulations of products that we use. I have found
that although you can change the displayed figure to two decimal places it is still representative of the whole figure. This is an accuracy not required by us and causes problems on further formulating. Is there any function to remove the excess decimal places? I.e. changing 38.8246346 to38.8200000? Thanks |

Can you remove excess decimal places in Excel?
Dear Chris
Format it to display 2 decimal digits. Go to Tools | Options | Calculation and click on Precision as Displayed and click OK. Please note that this is an application setting which will affect all workbooks. So you can revert this once done.. If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "chris.todd.irandt" wrote: I use excel to work out formulations of products that we use.
