Conditional formatting producing inconsistant results?
Hello,
I am attempting to format a cell and the results are inconsistant. The formula looks like this: =IF(MOD(C3,0.0005)0,TRUE(),FALSE()) The results I get are inconstant. If the value of C3 is .2810 it treats it as a true statement, which is not the case. However, most other values are correctly analyzed. I have discovered the reason which is an error that shows up in about the 17th decimal place. I corrected the problem by changeing the formula to look like this: =IF(ROUND(MOD(C3,0.0005),4)0,TRUE(),FALSE()) Why the error, and is there a way to avoid this? The odd thing is that some of the values which were analyzed correctly also had error, but it was in the 18th decimal place. Anyway, I've resolved the problem for now, just wondering where else the error is going to cause problems. Craig S. FDI, Inc. |
