Cell reading Balanced problem
 

I am using the formula below to say if a cell is 0 then the message is
Balanced.
This has always worked ok until now, but if the cell is 0.009999 for
example, it reads Unbalanced. As this is a sheet with Number formatted to 2
decimal places I still want it to read Balanced. I have tried formatting the
cell in many different ways, even moving the cell elsewhere on the sheet, but
unable to find the solution.
I have checked all cells in the calculation chain for errors in inputting
which is giving me the rogue total, but to no avail.
Does it need a better formula than the one I have to specifically bar
numbers after 0.00 so that the cell will read Balanced? Help much
appreciated. Thanks.


IF(F46=0,"< Balanced ","< Unbalanced ")

You need to ignore anything beyond the first two decimal digits:

=IF(INT(F46*100)=0,"< Balanced ","< Unbalanced ")

IF(F46=0,"< Balanced ","< Unbalanced ")

Well, if you format that to 2 places, that will be 0.01.
If that is what you want to use, you could change
=IF(F46=0,"< Balanced ","< Unbalanced ") to
=IF(ROUND(F46,2)=0,"< Balanced ","< Unbalanced ")

If you don't want to use ROUND, you might prefer ROUNDDOWN

David
Have you test the formula? its would still return unbalance as it give 0.01
which is < 0

Do you means =IF(ROUND(F46,0)=0,"< Balanced ","< Unbalanced ")
and Format Cells Number Number Decinal places 2

IF(F46=0,"< Balanced ","< Unbalanced ")

I have given you two suggestions. If neither of those is acceptable you may
wish to define your own upper and lower limits.
Your suggestion of =IF(ROUND(F46,0)=0,"< Balanced ","< Unbalanced ") will
give Balanced for any value between -0.5 and 0.5.
If that is what you want, then use it.
If you want to define another (arbitrary) pair of limits, try something like
=IF(AND(F46lowerlimit,F46<upperlimit)=0,"< Balanced ","< Unbalanced ")
and put your limits in cells which you can reference in the formula.
What limits do you want to set?
