Trim varying decimals from column of numbers
 

Good Morning
I am using Excel 2003 and have a column of approximately 250 numbers. Each
has different number of decimals. Although the Format displays all as whole
numbers, the decimals are be calculated and throowing my cost analysis off
when Multplying this column (Quantity) x a Price. How can I trim all values
to whole numbers, regardless of their vary number of decimal places.

Thanks in Advance
Phil

Trim varying decimals from column of numbers
 

the decimals are be calculated

If these numbers are the results of formulas then try something like this:

=INT(your_formula_here)

You could try =DOLLAR(cell,#) where #=number of decimals.

others shor 4 ot 5 decimals.

Ok, let's assume your numbers are in the range A2:A100. Enter this formula
in B2 and copy down as needed:

=INT(A2)

Trim varying decimals from column of numbers
 

Use the round function...

=ROUND(A1,n)

Where n is the number of decimal places to round to.

A1 = 49.537

=ROUND(A1,2) = 49.54
=ROUND(A1,1) = 49.5
=ROUND(A1,0) = 50
