CONCATENATE zeros
I am trying to calculate only change and not dollars and then see if
the change balances... This works…. K6 = 4 Q:12 sum(A1:A12) - this yields $10.40 Q13 =CONCATENATE(RIGHT(Q12,1)) - this yields the 4 Q14 =IF(K6<Q13,"Balance","Out") this yields Balance BUT This does not with whole numbers… K6 = 0 Q:12 sum(A1:A12) - this yields $16.00 Q13 =CONCATENATE(RIGHT(Q12,1)) - this yields the 6 Q14 =IF(K6<Q13,"Balance","Out") this yields Out where it should balance as there are no cents. It seems that Excel does not seeing zero cents and thus jumps a decimal place. Any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated! |

Hi,
Your using text manipulation to work on numbers try these formula instead Q13 =(Q12-INT(Q12))*10 Q14 =IF(K6=Q13,"Balance","Out") Mike "Bullocks" wrote: I am trying to calculate only change and not dollars and then see if the change balances...

Even when I mess with the number it is being balanced against... from 0-9 it aways reads "out". Strange. |

Frankly, that is unclear to me from your example. K6 = 4 Q:12 sum(A1:A12) - this yields $10.40 Q13 =CONCATENATE(RIGHT(Q12,1)) - this yields the 4 Q14 =IF(K6<Q13,"Balance","Out") this yields Balance One approach: Q13: =mod(round(Q12*100,0),100) Q14: =if(K6=Q13, "balances", "does not balance") Note: That assumes that K6 is 34 in my example; 40, not 4, in your example. If you are truly trying to limit the comparison to only the tenths digit, please post back with that clarification, and we can adjust my solution.

What if I now did only want the 10ths? Eg. I had $38.24 and I only wated to balance the .2 with a 2. Cheers! |
