hi,
i guess the result of your formula actually equals 0.00000000000000976996. excel displays the scientific format instead of a normal number. go to Format/Cell//Number to change. andy "sako 338" wrote: i have a fairly long formula that ultimately subtracts 0.5 from 0.5 but instead of returning 0 it returns 9.76996 E-15 any explanations gratefully accepted sako 338 |
