If you look at the attached file in Column E line 47 you will see that it displays
373.97. However if you look in the formula bar it shows 373.9694. I am trying to make it so that the formula bar shows the same number as in the cell. Any idea on how to do this? I have tried everything I know how to do, which is not much.
I have a vba macro that takes data from one workbook and pastes it into another workbook. In doing this I have declared a few variables of type single (I only need two decimal precision). However, when I copy the values from the cells on the source workbook and paste them into the target workbook, the numbers end up having 12 decimal places. Ultimately, this extra precision causes my totals to be off by .01 or more after a while. I have tried rounding the number as I pull it off the source workbook into the variable, but that didn't matter. How do I solve this problem? Code for pulling data from source workbook:...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need a formula to take a number with several decimal places and round it up to two decimal places to either .33, .66 or, .00 if its above .66.
For example, 4.23423423423423 will be 4.33
4.43453453533434 will be 4.66
4.8353453453 will be 5.00
Lets say the number is in cell A1. What formula would do this?

Is there a way to format a cell based upon a condition? If the cell value is <1, I want to show two decimal places. If the cell is >1, I want to show zero decimal places. I tried to use the conditional formatting, but there is no option for this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need a function to find the number of decimal places of a certain number (in this specific case doubles)
The first solution would be something like this:
Code:
'returns the number of decimal places within a double
Public Function getDecPlaces(inputNum As Double) As Long
Dim ndx As Long
ndx = InStr(1, inputNum, ".")
If ndx > 0 Then
getDecPlaces = Len$(CStr(inputNum)) - ndx
End If
End Function
But i feel there is likely a much better way of doing this..
I need to have textBox2. formatted to a number with 3 decimal places.
The code below is executed from the command button.

content from form is captured via formulas to a CIMLoad format on another tab
Users keep entering four to six decimal places in weight value
I need to limit the cell to either whole numbers, or a maximum of 2 decimal places
The cell is formatted to two decimal places, but when you activate the cell it shows the full value they entered, and so does my CIMLoad
How to I limit the value in this cell to whole numbers or numbers with a maximum of two decimal places?
I am using Excel 2007 and importing a list of coordinates. The coordinates are in a text file and separated by commas, so I'm opening the file as a delimitted file. All of the coordinates import correctly except one. The value is supposed to 52530.6372, but Excel is automatically changing it to 52530.6371999999
If I manually type a "2" to replace the "1999999", it changes it back. If I type "3" it stays as a 3.
I added a round function to force it to round to 4 decimal places and that seemed to work until I then tried using the number with text commands. When I used an ampersand to insert the number into a text string, the additional decimal places are back, even with a round function!
Here's what I'm doing: I'm using a macro to assign a cell value to a variable then set another cell value to the variable instead of copy/paste (because even pasting values only was affecting other formulas in the file for some reason)
The problem: in using the macro, the number being 'copied' is acquiring a few extra decimal places IE 38334.61 is the original number and 38334.609375 is what I end up with. The numbers come from a CSV with only 2 decimal places and I checked by adding decimal places in the format so it's not a formatting/visible digits issue. Since the values are hour meter readings, the extra decimal places end up with very small values outside 0-24 hrs which messes with sorting and usage %. The values are so small all of them together in a month add up to a fraction of a cent but it's one of those things that bugs my OCD by not being right.
My VBA book explains the min/max capabilities, content type, memory bits but not fiddly details like this.
So my question is this: right now I'm declaring the clipboard-substitue variable as an single, is there a different one that would work better without adding anything? Criteria are: numeric, 6 digits before the decimal, 2 after, all positive values. (Ie 123456.12)
EDIT: fixed my senior moment.
I have a userform with 35 text boxes on which display data from a worksheet based on a selection made from a combobox.
My problem is that TextBox11 and TextBoxes 15-35 all need to show a value to 2 decimal places i.e 360.00.
I have found the following line of code:
Code:
For Each ctrl In Controls
If TypeName(ctrl) = "TextBox" Then ctrl.Value = Format(ctrl.Value, ".00")
Next ctrl
Which does the job but unfortunatley it applies it to every single textbox on the form (not just No's 11,15-35) which is a problem as some of the boxes contain dates so instead of 09/05/2012 i actually get 41038.00.
My question is how to I modifiy the above code (or is there an alternative code?) to only apply to the required textboxes?
i have lets say a table with rows that contain the following data.
SKU - PRICE - SALEPRICE - DESCRIPTION - SALEDESCRIPTION
What I am trying to do, is to make a concat formula that says:
SALEDESCRIPTION = DESCRIPTION+price was+PRICE+now+SALEPRICE
In essence so that i can simply pull down the formula, and all our product descriptions have 'special offer, was xx (price) is now xx (sale price).
This works fine, except that in the SALEDESCRIPTION, the amounts from the price and saleprice fields are being brought over without decimal places and without currency symbol.
I have tried formatting those two columns as currency or accounting but neither works.

Excel will only let me have 30 decimal places of Pi whether I copy and paste it as a number or use its Pi function and even then seems to round up. Is there any way I can get more than 30 decimal places for this calculation? If not in excel then can anyone suggest another programme that may be capable of this?

I am doing some calculations via Excel, and I have found that I get different results using a calculator. I know that by formatting the number, I can show as many or as little decimal places as I like in any cell, but can anyone tell me how many decimal places Excel actually uses when it's carrying out calculations?

How do I write a formula to round the decimal places in a number in set increments. For example;
a) 14.28 to the nearest 0.25 would result 14.25
b) 1.99 to the nearest 0.1 would result 2.0
c)2.97 to the nearest 0.25 would result 3.00
Using Excel 2010
Workbook with 21 sheets, first sheet is the summary sheet (named SUMMARY) taking all it's content from the other sheets, named from 1 to 20, which are all laid out the same, but contain different data.
My problem is that I want to get rid of decimal places that are being brought into the SUMMARY sheet
In sheets named 1 to 20, I am using the following formula in H23 to arrive at a figure =IFERROR(100/(B5/B23),0) in H23
B5 and B23 are always whole numbers on all sheets 1-20, result can be whole or contain decimal places which I round up in the cell to show no decimal places
On sheet 1, B5 is 200 and B23 is 5, giving 2.50 as the answer, which is right, I have H23 set as a number cell with no decimal places so it rounds up to 3 which is what appears in the H23 cell.
All of the above is correct and appearing as I want it on the sheet, the problem arises when I import into the SUMMARY sheet as follows:
On the SUMMARY sheet in cell B59 I want the following to appear 5 - 3 but am getting 5 - 2.5 using the following formula
='1'!B23&" - "&'1'!H23
The first part is fine as B23 will always be a whole number
How can I stop it from bringing in the 2.5 and get it to bring in the rounded up 3 into cell B59
I have cell B59 set as a number cell with no decimal places but it still appears as 2.5
Also when I correct it as it appears a lot on the summary sheet, how do I get the following to happen
='1'!$B$23&" - "&'1'!$H$23
if I fill the above across columns how to I get the two '1' s in the formula to become '2' then '3' as I fill across.
