Default cut off number in excel cell vs. rounding

Dear Reader,

I have got following simple problem that seems to be hard to solve:

I have an AS 400 system calculation that adds $ amounts on the
condition that all decimal places bigger than 2 are cut off. Finally
the total of all these numbers is calculated.

Now these numbers are read out into excel but with their full length of
decimal places which is often more than 2 decimal places. If I round
these numbers the total as well as each number differs from the total
cell number I get when every decimal place bigger than 2 is cut off.

The only way to fix that so far is deleting the decimal places of each
number manually. That took me hours.

Isn't there any trick to shorten this "waste of time"?

Thanks
