How To Stop MAX Function Rounding Values
Jul 4, 2014
I have 3 conditions within my spreadsheet, which only 1 condition can have a numeric value in it at any one time.
The result of my calculations returns the following results
Condition 1: False; Condition 2: 168001.5072; Condition 3: False
I then use the MAX command to pick up the cell that has a value in it.
The command I use is: =MAX(L28,N28,P28)
The problem occurs is when I use this MAX command it Rounds up the value from 168001.5072 to 168001.51 - I need to stop this rounding from occurring.
Now I have just been told on this forum about how to use the TRUNC command to stop my original formula from rounding my final value (168001.5072) but I'm not sure if using the TRUNC command will work in this situation.
I can not use the "=" command becuase depending on the values I use any 3 of the conditions can be met, which will mean a value will sit in either condition 1, 2 or 3, so that is why I need to pull the MAX value.
The attached image shows my issue.
The value on the right 168001.5072 is being rounded up and displayed as seen on the left as value 168001.51 and I would like ot know how to stop this from occuring.

I have a percentage calculation that I need to ensure excel does not round up the last digit.
My calculation is 2463000(cell:I13) divided by 257000(cell: I14+I15)
Excel calculates this value to be 0.958365759
However I need it to display and re-use only 0.9583657 as my calculation has to be precise to 7 decimal places.
If I use the formula =ROUND(I13/SUM(I14+I15),7) then excel returns the value 0.9583658 - it rounds the last digit up.
I have tried to use the option "Set precision as displayed" and set my decimal places to 7 but this still sees my 7th digit rounded up.
How do I set it so the 7th digit is not rounded up.
My original formula is =IF(AND((L3+L8+L13)<=O3,(L3+L8+L13+L18)>O3),((O3-(L3+L8+L13))*I18/L18))
I have updated it to be =IF(AND((L3+L8+L13)<=O3,(L3+L8+L13+L18)>O3),((O3-(L3+L8+L13))*(ROUND(I18/L18,7))))

I am working on an inventory issue, we use a bar code scanner to read in inventory, and when we move inventory.
One of our inventory items has a number that is 20-numerical characters long, Excel seems to convert the last 5 characters to zeros (0).
An Example number would be: 89148000000286153971 Excel changes the number to: 89148000000286100000

I am trying to write a formula that will round numbers to $.05, $1, $5, and $10. The formula needs to be written in a way that If c75 <100 round to $.05, if c75 is greater than $101 but less than $500, round to $1, if c75 is greater than $501 but less than $1,000, round to $5, and if c75 is greater than $1,001, round to $10.
=IF(C75<100,ROUND(C75*20,0)/20)
but i can't quite figure out how to get the rest of it to work.

I have a very simple spreadsheet that I use for preparing quotations. It was created on my PC at home and includes a simple roundup function (=ROUNDUP((F199*G199)+F199 2) ).
I now use this spreadsheet on my PC at the office and the function works perfectly well but if I try to edit it, or create a similar rounding fx, on my office PC I keep getting the error message "You've entered too few arguments for this function".
I've tried using the Help Menu in Excel but even if I copy one of the formulas from the Help Menu into the spreadsheet I still get the error message. The 2 versions of Excel are the same (2003). I tried inserting a ',' and a ';' in front of the '2' but this has also not helped.
I have attached a sample of the offending spreadsheet. The rounding function is in column "B"

I am importing a .txt file into Excel that has two columns of dollars and cents. When I do my subtotals, all subtotals should be zero. Some of the totals show as 0.00, some as (0.00) and some as a dash which is what I would like for all of them. I have tried: ...

I have the following formula: =TEXT(( SUM(D98,D117,D136))/12,"0")&"' - "&MOD((SUM(D98,D117,D136)),12)&""""
This formula adds the inches in D98, D117 & D136 and divides it by 12 to get the footage of the 3 cells. The problem occurs when you reach the half foot mark...for instance say D98 was 2-0 (24 inches), D117 was 3-0(36 inches) and D136 was 2-6(30 inches) added up this comes out to 7-6(90 inches)...the formula then rounds the footage up to 8 feet...this can understandably be frustrating when I'm trying to get an exact measurement...is there a way to force the formula not to round up?

I have some values that I have rounded off to two decimal places in Excel.
However, when I try to export the data to an accounting software, Excel copies the un-rounded off data to the software (i.e. I get the values with many decimal places). This has resulted in calculation errors when I try to sum up all the values.
Is there any way to get Excel to only remember the final, rounded-off values, such that it only copies these values to the other software?

I need to round a number of values to 2 decimal places. Problem is this sometimes results in the total changing as the values after the 2 decimal places make up the remainder. I need to maintain the total. See attached..
Has anyone done this before? Probably something very simple but for some reason it's not coming to me. Well not without vba anyway..

I am using the following formula to convert m (months) into y/m (years/months)
=IFERROR(QUOTIENT(AQ8,12) & "/" & MOD(AQ8, 12),"")
where in AQ8 I have m (months)
how do I ensure that the formula does not display any decimal points after the m and instead rounds to the nearest month
ie. 100 to show as 8/4 (not as 8/3.5)
note that I have an additional formula working which gives me the 100 (months) in AQ8
IFERROR(AVERAGEIFS('Raw Scores'!AP$2:AP$65,'Raw Scores'!D$2:D$65,"M"),"")
(so I am guessing that this is rounding it first to the value I see in my cell but it may infact be using 99.84 months for further calcs)
I have tried formatting my cells but this does not work

EXCEL 2010. I have a column of negative and positive times (eg. -00:52, -03:07, 06:02) in custom hh:mm format, and would like a new column rounding these times to the nearest negative or positive hour (with just the whole hours displayed), so I need a formula that would give me (for this example) -1, -3, 6, etc.

I have a program that requires the last 8 days to be total, unless there are 2 days off in a row. So my cells need to sum the previous 8, but then stop when two zeros show in the column and then restart following. One zero should continue to total the previous 8 days. As shown below, for 1/10/14 I should see 57.5. The sum needs to restart on 1/13/14 to show a total of 10.5. I have tried multiple formulas with no luck.
Col A Col B
1/5/140
1/6/1412
1/7/1412
1/8/1412
1/9/1411
1/10/1410.5
1/11/140
1/12/140
1/13/1410.5
1/14/1411
1/15/1411

I have a data range - C4:C54 and I want an AVERAGE calculated in C56, but I only want a value displayed in C56 when a data entry is put in. Up to 50 data points could be put in anywhere e.g. only 14 values in C16:C30, or 44 values in C6:C50, or the full 50 in C4:C54.
The formula I've been trying is
=IF(ISERROR(C4:C54<>""),AVERAGE(C41:C54),"")
However, when no values are in the range it displays DIV/0! whereas I'd like the cell blank.

I am trying to round similar to Banker's Rounding or Scientific Rounding but I can't find a consistent formula that works perfect with decimals.
Using three decimal places for all the samples, I can get 0.0785 to round to 0.078 but 0.1785 wants to round to 0.179 instead of staying 0.078. Or 0.0005 will round to 0 but 0.5115 wants to round to 0.511 instead of 0.512.
Here is a list of sample numbers along with desired results:
.0785 should be .078
.5115 should be .512
.5035 should be .504
.0005 should be 0
.0025 should be .002
.0194 should be .019
.0195 should be .02
.0135 should be .014
.0115 should be .012
.8115 should be .812
I cannot find a formula which gives me all of these results. Here is a list of the formulas I have tried so far (NOTE: cell A2 is the working cell in my worksheet where I enter the number to be rounded)
1) =MROUND(A2,0.001)
3) =ROUND(A2,3)
4) =IF(ISERROR(IF(MOD(MID(A2,4,1),2)=1,CEILING(A2,0.001),FLOOR(A2,0.001))),0,IF(MOD(MID(A2,4,1),2)=1,CEILING(A2,0.001),FLOO R(A2,0.001)))
5) =EVEN(A2)
6) =ROUNDUP(A2,3)
7) =ROUNDDOWN(A2,3)

I have a vba function linked to conditional formatting that i want to temporarily stop while a sub to insert a line is running as the sub stops when it hits the sheet where the vba function operates. When i disable the vba function (or remove the vba function) the sub works fine, if the vba function is not disabled the sub stops.

I have two columns A & B. If I enter "Short" into Col A, I want "Long" to automatically appear in Col B, and vice versa. This is the code I have created so far. =IF(C4="Short","Long",IF(C4="Long","Short",IF(C4="",""))). This works but when I paste the formula into all cells in Col B, I get "FALSE" showing up in every cell. How can I stop the "FALSE" from populating every cell in Col B while Col A remains blank?

I have fought with this for 2 days and I am trying to have a worksheet cell update the date and time if the cell it is referencing (B3 see below)
Here is the formula I am using however it updates every time a new row is added to the worksheet. So the Date/Time stamp on each row is always updated to NOW() everytime.
=IF(ISNA(B3),"0/0/00 00:00",NOW())
I would like to have a Date/Time stamp stay as is once that row has been added. Is there anyway to stop the field from updating once the date and time have been set?

I have this equation
=(INDEX(abc!B8:D18,MATCH(Sheet1!C39,abc!A8:A18),MATCH(Sheet1!D39,percentiles,0)))
it gives me this #N/A. I'd rather have it show $0.00.

I'm trying to create a IF function to stop at $1500 for 401k employer match. To make it simple the variable in column D is constant but in reality it's based on 50% match amt up to $1500 of amount contribute(% of gross pay). The accumulation of matching is a rolling balance. If the match amt is less 1500, then match amt. But False, the left over amt equal 1500 then STOP there onward.
IF(SUM($D$3:D19)+($C20*0.5)<1500,$C20*0.5,SUM($D$3:D19)+($C20*0.5)-1500)

I am trying to use the simplest code possible (being a novice) to execute a macro which makes a copy of Cell A1:A4 and paste its values to Cells B1:B4 if cell B5=1 (or whatever). The Macro with copy and paste works (I recorded it and in my testing it was ok). And also the function, that contains If-Then status of cell B5, works and calls correctly the Macro.
Yet when the macro is called by the function (=CopyMyCells(B5)), the Macro (MacroCopy) runs - I tested this with a Msgbox - but stops just in doing what I need, i.e. in doing the copy-paste process. Here the code which is placed in a module of the proper Worksheet (Excel 2003, on WinXPSp3):

I want to do almost exactly this, but when I assign null using "", and plot the result on a graph, the graph thinks that cell is populated with a 0. Let me try to be a bit clearer. I have a range of dates in Col A, and percentages in B and C, but my last 3 dates in Col A have empty cells in B. Cols B and C are separate series. The line graph is (correctly) plotting series C, and series B, whose line stops where there is no more data.
What I need to do now is replace those empty cells with a formula like the one above. Ie, IF(ISBLANK(x1),<null>, <formula>), but using IF(ISBLANK(x1),"", <formula>) doesn't make the line on my graph stop.

I have looked at some threads related to this issue but don't quite fit what I am on about. I access some data online that appears in a grid format which I copy and paste to Excel. I don't have access to the source data/database. I select and set some query variables and run the query and the result appears in the grid. I copy and paste to Excel that is it. When paste to Excel 2010 I have the choice between "Keep source formatting" and "Match destination formatting". OK, I always choose the 2nd option i.e. "Match destination formatting". That is it. It appears to be a simpler format. Where does the problem come in? Can you help me stop Excel from involuntarily converting numerics to dates when not asked?
The data itself can (at least the part that I'm interested in can) come in 2 different ways. 1) WPS or 2) W%P%S. In case you're interested these represent racing statistics where 1) WPS = Number of Wins, Places, Starts given as whole integer format and 2) W%P%S = Percentage of Wins, Percentage of Places and S is still the integer number of starts. Now, when I run the query and copy these statistics over to Excel, particularly in the form of the 1st type of data i.e. WPS they are in the form e.g. "2-6-12" which means 2 wins, 6 places from 12 starts. The stats literally come across in the form "W-P-S" where I fear the delimiter "-" is causing the date conversion consequences that I have outlined at the start. ALSO, as you could have imagined, I have tried importing the data in terms of the 2nd type of data namely "W%-P%-S", which, on the surface of things begins to solve the problem in terms of the initial paste of the data into Excel. That is true, and yes I have found that this has delimited the data correctly mainly. Although there are still occasional problems. When I import the data this way, I still want the data in the % form as well as the integer form. So I do a great deal of data massaging with what I have and yet in re-converting some of the data back to integer form I can still encounter the "convert to date" problem.

my excel sheet runs through a lot of calculations, opens Flowmaster, a simulations program, passes on data, receivs data and so on. Is there any way to have a user input to stop the whole simulation. During the first tries I had a lot of break point in my debugger. But now I want to have a button to hit or better just some keys to hit to stop it without using the ctrl+alt+del which closes everything.

I am trying to find some missing values compared to 6 base values. For instance, I have a sheet with some names translated to another language, I am trying to find the languages some names have not been translated too.
For example, if I have six languages, Arabic, Japanese, Russian, Chinese-Simplified, Chinese- Traditional, and Korean to compare too, I want to find any names that are not translated in certain languages.
Sample:
John Japanese
John Chinese - Simplified
John Korean
Martin Arabic
Martin Chinese - Simplified
Martin Russian

I have a sheet that i use for doing quotes for sound systems. i have a qty and price column that i input and then a column which gives me the overall total. ie qty 2 x unit amount 160.00 = 320.00 i also have a discount column that i use and a column that gives them the final price after discounts. so i will put 22% into my discount column and get 249.60 as my final price for the 2 items after the discount.
what i am wanting to do is "round up or down to the nearest 5.00 mark. so for instance, the final price in this case would be 250.00 is this possible?

I have a worksheet (Sheet1) that gets information from other sheets (1)
So in cell D7 I have the function ='1'!K33
K33 is from the Sheet labeled (1) obviously. Now the problem I am having is if the number 20.6, it automatically rounds up to 21. I need to number to round down to 20 regardless if its 20.1, or 20.9.
Since I already have a formula in D7, how do I still get the information from the other sheet but have the number round down for me. Is it possible?
