Hi,
I am having a very large problem that may have the simplest solution! Wondering if anyone can help?? I have in Cell G8 the following formula: =IF(G5="",0,(G7-G5-G6)*24) The problem I am encountering is that it value the cell as 0.4999998 and if I ROUNUP it vlaues it at 1.0 and if i just ROUND it values it as 0.9999998?? Is there any way of making it round correctly?? Thanks |

What formula are you using for ROUND in each case? 0.9999998 doesn't look

What formulae were you using for your ROUNDUP and ROUND solutions (and what
numbers in the input cells)? -- David Biddulph wrote in message ... Hi, I am having a very large problem that may have the simplest solution! Wondering if anyone can help??

I tried typing 0.4999998 into cell C2; and =ROUND(C2,1) in D2 and I get
0.5000000. But if I try =ROUND(C2,0) in D2 I get 0.0000000. Also, you could try reducing the number of decimal places in cell formatting.

I'm amazed. But you didn't reply to the bit where we asked:
" ... (and what numbers in the input cells)? " so those of us without ESP can't investigate your problem. -- David Biddulph wrote in message ...

hi,
In case the value is less than zero and the formula is =round(H3,0) it will give you answer as '0' Since the value in the cell is less than zero and formula refers to the nearest next number. Hence i suggest you should put the formula as =round(H3,1) since the nearest number after zero is 1. Answer would be 0.5 Excel 2003 Thanks Suleman Peerzade " wrote: Hi, I am having a very large problem that may have the simplest solution! Wondering if anyone can help??
