Excel vs. calculator multiplication product discrepancy...
I'm experiencing a slight rounding error in comparing the Excel product of
simple multiplication equations versus the product achieved using a calculator! Anyone know for certain how to adjust Excel to mirror the calculator? |
Details, please.
What formulas, what values, what did your calculator give, what did Excel give you and what do you consider right and why? -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "Jray" wrote in message ...

what is the number of significant figures in the calulator?
addtionally for some fuctions, probably different algorithms were used in the calculator than Excel.
