Default Number and Rounding format

I have a column which displays "122". But when you look at the actual cell
contents in the formula field, it displays as "121.5". The column is
formatted as a "Number" column with 0 decimal places. I am importing this
column into a 3rd party application, and it is importing as "121.5". And I
need it to import as the displayed rounded amount of "122".

Is there any way that I can easily adjust this within the Excel spreadsheet
or am I going to have to invoke the "ROUND" formula function in each of the
almost 20,000 cells to accomplish this???

I appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!

Select Tools-Options-Calculation and select the box next to "Precision as
Displayed"

Be carefull using this though you will permanently lose any precision, and
it effects all cells in the file. I usually use it once and then turn it off
because it effects functions results sometimes in unexpected ways.

First backup your data so as to save the original values (if you might need
access to them in the future).

Then select Tools/Options/Calculations
Under Workbook Options SELECT: Precision as Displayed
