Easy calculating ending with wrong decimals
 
I got an odd problem in Excel.

The problem is that if i take 4.5 (Minus) 4.4, that will result in 0.1
but if i choose 16+ decimals it will go random like this
0,0999999999999996
0,0999999999999997
0,0999999999999999

other combinations also apply too this.
is there a solution too this one?

hope some Excel man can fix this for me as it is a huge problem

Entitled 'Problem withe ABS Function' and posed in the formula section
of this site.

Jerry W. Lewis explains it very clearly
