Hi,

1.8 0.8
3.8 0.6

I can understand why 1.8 becomes 0.8 but why does 3.8 get converted to 0.6?

Mike

You may have meant MIN but this still doesn't give the values the OP wanted

What is the logic in 1.8 becoming 0.8, 3.8 becoming 0.6, 3.5 becoming 0.7
etc?

oops
min(cell, .80) should produce the results

these symbels are because this mail is replied/forwarded?

Another approach might be to use this:

=MOD(A1,0.8)

and copy down, but this does not always produce the numbers in your
example:

1.8 0.2
3.8 0.6
0.0 0.0
3.5 0.3
1.1 0.3
0.8 0.0
5.6 0.0
4.8 0.0
4.5 0.5
0.0 0.0
0.0 0.0

Hope this helps.

Pete
