Calculations and significant digits
Hi Niklas,
Try using Excel's ROUND function. For example, =ROUND(4321.12345,4) returns 4321.1235 =ROUND(4321.12345,3) returns 4321.123 =ROUND(4321.12345,2) returns 4321.12 =ROUND(4321.21345,1) returns 4321.1 =ROUND(4321.21345,0) returns 4321 =ROUND()4321.12345,-1) returns 4320 =ROUND(4321.12345,-2) returns 4300 and so on. Also check out the ROUNDUP and ROUNDDOWN functions. Cheers "Niklas" wrote in message ... Hi Are their any worksheet function I can use to convert a value to the desiered significant values? At the moment I have created a UDF doing this, but I prefer to use worksheet function.
