I have cells in a worksheet that brings in numbers (linked to the cell)from
other sheets in the work book. The values being brought in a simple numbers,
averaged from a small set of other numbers.

All number formats are set to number, 0 decimal points.

The roll up table is showing the correct, rounded values to the nearest
whole number that are linked back to cells in the supporting work sheet.

However, the problem appears to be that conditonal formating is looking at
the worsheet values and applying the format to the un rounded values.

For example, if I tell the roll up table to format red each cell that has a
value between 3 & 3.99. The table shows side by side cells that both contain
the number 3. However one cell is red and the other is not. If you go back
to the cell of origin for each, it will show that the unrounded value for one
cell may be 2.8, and 3.5 for the other. The condition is applied based on
the decimal points, even though the origin cells are fomatted with no decimal
places.

Thanks in advance,

Danny

Hi Danny

numbers formatted to hide the decimal places aren't actually rounded they
just look that way
try this
type in A1
57.6
and format it to show no decimal places now in B1 type
=A1*100
you will see that the original number is multiplied by 100 not the formatted
number

to round a number use the round function
=ROUND(A1,0)

unfortunately, i can't think of an easy way to solve your problem unless you
use tools / options / calculation, precision as displayed ... however, the
following warning is given in HELP
--
Caution When you change the precision of the calculations in a workbook by
using the displayed (formatted) values, Excel permanently changes any
constant values on the worksheets in the workbook. If you later choose to
calculate with full precision, the original underlying values cannot be
restored.

Thanks and right oh! The cell values is format as desired, i.e. whole
numbers only, but the conditinal format goes back to the "behind the scenes"
cell value, even though the refeenced cell in the link is also formatted to a
whole number. Will give your suggestion a try and let you know.

Could you not use a CF formula of say

=AND(ROUND(A1,0)=3,ROUND(A1,0)<4)

tried your suggestion & it worked just fine! Am simply averaging some basic
scoring with rates from 1 to 5 so did not have to worry about losing
precision and the values were not further linked or utilizied so no worry
about downstream precision or accuracy. Used conditional format to color a
cell with green, yellow or red based on the score in order to highlight areas
that need improvements.

Bob - thanks for the idea, but a cf does not fit into the end result I
needed and there are more than the two conditons of T or F.

Danny,
It looks like the rounding solution worked, but if you are
concerned about rounding for downstream calculations why not set up
your conditional fortting based on the unrounded results.

ie.
if your value is between 2.51 and 3.50 it will round to 3 and you want
it red
if your value is between 3.51 and 4.50 it will round to 4 and you want
it yellow
if your value is above 4.51 it will round to 5 and you want it green.

So set up your conditions accordingly.
Rather than value = 3 turns red
have value between 2.51 and 3.50 turns red

etc.

Just a thought.
