add 3 non-adjacent % cells visually = 99.9, total shows 100.0
Formula in cell N34 adds N16 (11.1%), N24 (44.4%), and N31 (44.4%). The
total displayed in N34 is 100.0%, should be 99.9%. |
You're seeing 99.9% because your values are not 11.1%, 44.4% and 44.4%
exactly. There is more there than you see. If the values a 11.14% 44.43% 44.44% Then the true sum is 100.01%. If formatted to the tenth decimal place, you'll see 100.0%.

Adding a little to Jason's response, if you want the values in N16, N24, &
N31 to be just what they appear to be, apply the Round() function to them, rounding them to 3 decimal places. If the values were in contiguous cells you could , use an array formula, committed by pressing Ctrl-Shift-Enter: =SUM(ROUND(A1:A3,3)) "Chipster" wrote: Formula in cell N34 adds N16 (11.1%), N24 (44.4%), and N31 (44.4%).
