My rounding error in a simple IF
Not quite following you on this...
Does "=4.80" mean that's a calculated value? If so, the 4.80 may not be the true value of that cell. It may be something like 4.80000000056889 You should probably round it off to 2 decimal places. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "garron" wrote in message ... col:A col:B col:C col:D col:E 4.82 -.02 =4.80 vs 4.80 =0% why am i getting an error here? =if(A0.10,(D-C)*100/C,0) Im expecting a 0% difference between C AND D IT SHOULD READ 0% DOH!

Round it using the ROUND function. Don't just *format* it to show only 2 decimal places. Formatting is only for *display* purposes. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "T. Valko" wrote in message ...
