Formatting just changes the display of the number but does not change the
underlying value which can be many decimal places. You can use the ROUND function in your calculations. =ROUND(SUM(F1:F2),2) Alternative is to go to ToolsOptionsCalculation and check "Precision as displayed". Note: this will permanently change all numbers on the sheet to displayed values.
