Default Strange Calculation Error in Excel


Hi.
I have a table of numbers, and I do some simple Math based on this data.
Eg:
4.1 4.1 3.97 4.03
4.15 4.15 4.1 4.1


For the formula "=A4-B4", the answer given is
"-0.069999999999999400000000000000"
It should be just -0.07.

Then I checked the value for A4 & B4, the values a
4.030000000000000000000000000000
4.100000000000000000000000000000

What's wrong with Excel?
How can I correct this error?
PS: If anyone wishes to see the original Excel file, please leave your email
address here. Thanks!

My ability is very limited. Hope you will not mind to enlighten me if I do
wrongly.
