Were preparing a report and the detail commission values are rounded to two
decimals. I also calculate commission as Total Revenue x 5% (rounded to two decimals). The problem is the sum of the rounded detail values does not equal the Total Revenue x 5% value. For example: Total Revenue = $117,524.11 and the Commission = $5,876.21 (5%). However, when multiplying the row-level detail by 5% and rounding to two places and then summing the column I get $5,876.71, a $0.50 increase. Is there anyway to add the rounded values at the detail level so that it equals the Total Revenue x 5% or am I trying to mix apples and organes? Thanks for the help......... -- JT |
