In Excel, how do you get it to not automatically round my dollars up or down.

Ex: I am summing a group of numbers and the total equals $598.6780. I want
to show only 2 decimal places but do NOT want Excel to round the amount up.
I want the answer to show me $598.67 not $598.68.

One way

=ROUNDDOWN(A1,2)

Think you'll need the analysis toolpak add installed

=TRUNC(A1,2) might be what you're looking for
