sum inaccurate
Hi
Win XP Home Office 2002 I have an excel workbook with some 6 spreadheets. B19(Ref' from another s/s in w/book) multiply by: F19 (also reference to another part of s/s) My problem basically is for excel to calculate 12 (B19) x 232 (F19),in the same S/S.. it gives answer as 2790, and SHOULD be 2784 if my math's are correct? I suspect I am not applying excel "rules" somewhere? TIA |

It's probably a rounding problem, eg 6.36 * 3.213 displays 20.43 if the cell
is formated to two decimal places, but the actual result is 20.43468 You can use the ROUND function to avoid this =ROUND(your formula,2) will round the result to two decimal places, Regards, Alan.

Hi,
Increase the number of decimals places being displayed in B19 and F19. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.
