How many decimal places can be displayed in a cell? I'm running a brute
force VBA procedure of finding fractions that will approximate pi to as many decimal places as Excel will display, but I don't know how many decimal places Excel will display accurately. Anybody know? I guess this is also a matter of how many decimal places VBA will calculate accurately as well. Sub PiFractions() Dim dividend As Integer, divisor As Integer, quotient As Double Dim rowpointer As Byte rowpointer = 1 For dividend = 22 To 10000 For divisor = 7 To dividend \ 3 quotient = dividend / divisor If quotient 3.14159 And quotient < 3.1416 Then Cells(rowpointer, 1) = dividend Cells(rowpointer, 2) = divisor Cells(rowpointer, 3) = quotient rowpointer = rowpointer + 1 End If Next Next End Sub |
