Default Using some variation of int or trunc

I am using a not-for-profit accounting system called Blackbaud. I am
downloading financial statements from this system using Crystal report
format. The reports come into Excel with 2 decimal places. I know that I
can format the Excel spreadsheet with 0 decimal places but when I foot and
crossfoot a column or row I can have problems with the rounding.

For instance I show this on the download

Col 1 Col2 Col 3 Total
64043 10617 1049 75710

If you add col 1,2, and 3 as they appear, it totals 75709.

This is because the real numbers in these columns are

Col1 col2 col3 total
64043.38 10616.88 1049.25 75709.51

I want the total to be 75710. I cant use @ int because I lose values. Can
anyone help me with this issue?

Thank you in advance for your help.

*Don't* format to 0,
*Round* to 0 places.

=ROUND(SUM(A1:C1),0)
