rounding figures to nearest thousand
Hi,
I have financial data that is shown to the nearest penny. I need to change any figures by rounding them to the nearest thousand. I have looked at using the round function or setting up a custom text format. If the round function is the way to go how can I enter formula into a field which doesn't delete the data already in it? Thanks Nathan |

rounding figures to nearest thousand
If you put a formula into a cell, then it *will* delete the data already in
it. If your cell has a formula =A1+B2, then you can replace that formula by =ROUND(A1+B2,-3) Otherwise if your formula is in cell C2 and you don't want to change C2, you can put your rounded figure in D2, using =ROUND(C2,-3) , and this same formula will work if you've got a number, rather than a formula, in C2. -- David Biddulph "NathanG" wrote in message ...

rounding figures to nearest thousand
If you just want to show it in thousand, just use a format of #,##0,
