Formatting Cells
I have created a payroll spreadsheet that calculates FICA and MEDICARE W/H.
I formatted the cells to 2 places. The MEDICARE W/H formula calculates to 3 decimal places, but displays 2 places in the cell. When Net Pay is calculated the formula includes the 3 place calculation which makes the total off by one cent. Can anyone help??? You may email me at: |

You probably know that the format and the precision are not the same thing --
just because a number is formatted to two digits doesn't mean it's used in calculations that way. Can you limit the MEDICARE W/H formula to 2 digits, or at least round it within the net pay formula? You can use the round function to do this. AlecHull "Randy Balch" wrote: I have created a payroll spreadsheet that calculates FICA and MEDICARE W/H. I formatted the cells to 2 places.
