Sum problems
Hello everybody,
My problem is this: I want to sum a column of numbers. My numbers are rounded to the nearest thousand, though. Does anybody know how to see the sum of the rounded numbers? Excel just gives me the exact sum of the numbers before rounding. Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend! Regards Heine |

Sum problems
Not absolutely sure that I have read the question correctly, but try:
=SUM(ROUND(range,-3)) You will have to array-enter the formula, that is; hold down the control and shift keys when hitting enter to enter the formula. There will be other methods to achieve the same effect. You might also want to look at the "precision as displayed" feature in Excel (and you will probably want to reject it having considered it) wrote in message ups.com...

Sum problems
Come to think of it
=SUMPRODUCT(ROUND(range,-3)) would appear to work also without having to be array entered. I gather that the calculation overhead is about the same. "Jack Sheet" wrote in message ...
