omit numbers past decimal in formula result
In a prefilled form, the formula in cell B1 is: =roundup(A1/4,0)
Cell A1 = 24, so the answer should be 6. My problem is that even tho the cell displays the number as 24, the actual number takes it several places past the decimal, (24.0000000000002) as the result of another formula, so the result in B1 is 7 instead of 6. Is there a way to prevent this and work with the whole number only? I hope I have given enough information, but if not I will be happy to provide more details as needed. Thanks in advance for any help. |

omit numbers past decimal in formula result
Cell A1 = 24...as the result of another formula
Is there a way to prevent this and work with the whole number only? You could use the ROUND function in the formula in cell A1: =ROUND(your_formula,0) Or, you could round down to the whole number in your current formula: =ROUNDUP(INT(A1)/4,0) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "DebC" wrote in message ...

omit numbers past decimal in formula result
Thank you so much! As far as the formula on the destination page, I have no
input. I'm stuck with the formulas that are prefilled. However, I was able to use this on my original worksheet that transfers to it. Huge help!
