Help needed summing fractional values which have been rounded up
I have formatted the cells so they don't show decimal places, which has the desired effect of rounding fractional numbers upwards i.e Original Rounded number number 9.0 9 3.0 3 3.5 4 2.5 3 1.0 1 0.5 1 The problem is when I try to get excel to sum a total for me. It seems to still be working on the fractional values rather than the whole numbers, so for the numbers above, it's totalling 19.5 rather than 21. Is there any way to fix this? -- madbloke ------------------------------------------------------------------------ madbloke's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=14422 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=390519 |
Use the ROUND formula: =ROUND(9.4,0) --9 =ROUND(9.5,0) --10 0 stands for 0 decimals Then sum the values Hope it helped Ola Sandström =ROUNDUP(9.1,0) -- 10 =ROUNDDOWN(9.1,0) -- 9 -- olasa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ olasa's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=17760 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=390519 |
