Hi all,
this comment refers to a rounding error I just happened to encounter. Try adding the following two numbers: 109563.24 and -105537.00. This should normally give you 4026.24 (and it does!!!). However if you display more decimals for the amount you will notice that the 11th decimal is wrong (it has a value of 1 instead of 0). Big deal one might say. However if you try to use this value in an IF function (e.g. IF Cell = 4026.24) this will return FALSE. Has anyone else noticed any similar cases? Is this a known Excel bug? Note that the same has been observed both in Excel XP and Excel 2003. A similar error has also been observed when adding the following pairs of numbers: 109441.87 and -105282.58 111058.21 and -105351.20 110761.07 and -105388.00 10669408 and -105943.00 There seems to be a pattern that this happens when we add (subtract) numbers that are in this range (although I have not proven it or investigated any further). Any comments? Markos |
