Default extract decimal place digit


I have a large table of data which, based on the SUM formulae I have put
in for some columns, apparently have been mis-keyed with 3 decimal
places, instead of only 2. I need to find out which values have 3
decimal places so I can correct them. Suggestions? Will a formula,
using various functions, work? Thanks.

Assuming your data is in column A, Put this in B1 and copy down............

=IF(LEN(A1-INT(A1))4,"yes","")

Then Data Filter Autofilter on the "yes's"

Craig,

For a number in cell A1:

=IF(LEN(A1)-FIND(".",A1)2,"Extra digit(s)","")

Change the A1's to be your upper left cell address, then copy to a table the same size as your data
table (same number of columns and rows).

HTH,
