I am trying to create a simple IF statement in Excel 2007. The logical test
in this case is true but the function returns a false. Looking in the
solution, the calculation is incorrect. The specifics a

if(e3-e15=0,"",e3-e15) In my case the result is 0, so I should be seeing a
blank cell. What I get is (0.00000000023283064) so the cell shows a (0)
rather than being blank. If I enter the formula e3-e15, not in part of the
function, the answer is 0.0000000000000000, which is the correct solution.
The only reason I'm showing all the decimal places is because the incorrect
solution has the result so far to the right of the decimal and that is the
only way I discovered why the statement was not resulting in a blank cell.

Can anyone tell me why I might be seeing the incorrect result? By the way,
other IF statements that do not have a calculation in the logical test are
returning the correct results.

thank you
