How to stop Excel from rounding a number?
Hi. Using Microsoft Office Excel 2007. Any help will be greatly
appreciated. We are setting up a spreadsheet so my husband can enter: -the price of an item -Calculate the sales tax of .08375 and have sales tax added to price each. -multiply the sum of the item price & sales tax by the quantity of items entered This is what happens: Price ea Sales Tax before tax Added QTY Total $0.307 $0.33 3 $1.00 Ordinarily, the total should equal $.99 I've tried changing the formats from currency to number, to accounting to scientific notation. Still have the problem. When I increase the decimal points on the total column, the number is: 0.99813375 I've used the ROUNDDOWN and ROUNDDUP formulas, but some entry totals require ROUNDDOWN while others require ROUNDUP in order to maintain accuracy. I prefer not to figure out which of these formulas is required for each entry. Is there a way to keep the number .99 as it is when reducing the decimal numbers back to 2 - just chop off the rest of the numbers that follow? Thanks! Sue |
