Is it possible to specify a number of significant figures (e.g., 3), so that Excel displays only 3 significant figures but RETAINS the full number? For example, take the number 16355.876: is it possible to have Excel display the number as 16400, yet retain the original number 16355.876? I know this is possible when the numbers are less than 1, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it with big numbers.
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to find a way of displaying results from a worksheet which can range from a few thousand to several million. However I only want to report to a set number of significant figures(5), i.e. if the result is say £25,256,128 I would like to show the resuilt to the first 5 significant figures i.e. £25,256,000, and say £3,508,569 as £3,508,600.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to find a way to take the result of a formula, calculate how many decimal places based on significant figures, then rewrite the formula with the Round function.
=(5-2)/2
result is 1.5 taken to 3 significant figures is 1.50
=Round((5-2)/2),2)
I need to keep the formula in the cell for validation purposes and I need the result truncated to significant figures for accuracy. I am currently using the significant figure formula found on the forum for my data with numbers.
How to round to significant figures using excel, its for a question in one of my college assignments and i cant seem to find any information.

View 2 Replies View RelatedDoes anybody know of a special format or a rounding function that displays or rounds a number off to a specific number of significant digits.
Lets say I would like 3 significant digits this would be the results:
0.40019 -> 0.400
6.543 -> 6.54
12.543 -> 12.5
32 -> 32.0
564.7894 -> 565
54387 -> 54400 (or 5.44E+4 to be correct, but i can live with 54400)
I entered exactly 113,876.92 in cell L16 I entered exactly 113,390.02 in cell L17 I entered =L16-L17 in cell L18 L18 incorrectly shows the result at 486.9000000000009000 (note the extra "9" after the 11 zeros). When I expand the viewable digits on L16 and L17, they have ALL zeros after the cents. (I went out at least 25 digits). I can't be the first one encountering this.

I have the following working great, but would like to see it refine a little, as the data vlookup is 6 digits, but i only needs the last 4 digits is enough for me to work, my question is how do i go about adding that to the following function i have implemented and working fine.
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B4,' cmfs01home$peter[tracker data 4-25-14-a.xlsx]ControlSheet'!$B$2:$F$301,4,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(B4,' cmfs01home$peter[tracker data 4-25-14-a.xlsx]ControlSheet'!$B$2:$F$301,4,FALSE)
My values look like:
3.756897
23.4597861
103.459786
82
5.45667891
29.8975316
I need the first three significant numbers:
3.75
23.4
103
82
5.45
29.8
I used the LEFT function for a while until I started getting numbers over 100 and numbers with 0 decimals.
Does Excel have a function that will return the first x significant numbers? No rounding; just the first three numbers.
I am editing a wine database which contains a vast amount of data, one column has the wine name and sometimes the vintage year in the begining or at the end of the cell. Sometimes the year is made of 2 digits (03, 05, ..) or 4 digits (1978, 2004, 2005, ...).
Is there a way to remove this vintage year form the string?
to make matters worse, there is often a single quote/apostrophe in front of the vintage year, which is driving me mad as 98% of the time it is one of these hidden ones that cannot be deleted using the find/replace function.
examples are like below:
De Wetshof Finesse/Lesca Cahrdonnay ‘07
De Wetshof Sauvignon Blanc ‘07
Lord Neethling Cabernet Franc 2002
Lord Neethling Pinotage ‘01
Bouchard Finlayson Tete de Cuvee Pinot Noir ‘07
Jacobsdal Pinotage 1994
Zondernaam Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Tokara Red
1976 St Emilion
03 Tokara rose
Plasir de Merle Cabernet Sauvignon ‘05
DuToitskloof Pinotage/Merlot/Ruby Cabernet
1999 Tradition Juracon 375ml
I have been searching the Internet for the past 2 days without luck on how to delete the end of string vintage year.
I have had some luck with the left side, as in:
=IF(ISERROR(VALUE(LEFT(B2,SEARCH(" ",B2)-1))),B2,MID(B2,SEARCH(" ",B2)+1,LEN(B2)))
As I am not an expert with Excel, I have no idea on how to use VBA (every time I have tried even basic things, I failed) nor even sure how the above funtion works (found it on another site).
I thought I could acheive my goal in two steps, first removing the left side vintage and use this partial result with the RIGHT equivalent funtion, but it simply is not working!

Does anyone have an idea on how to help with this?
Ideally I would love to cut the vintage year, whether 2 or 4 digit, whether on right or left of cell and paste it in another cell, so to avoid manually doing it.
However, this is surely too complicated to do, so iwould settle with just deleting the vintage year and manually typing the vintage in another cell.
how to set an Excel formula to calculate rounding based on the criteria listed below?
When rounding, digits to the right of the significant less than five (5) will be truncated. Digits to the right of the significant digit greater than five (5) will cause the significant digit to round up by one (1). If the digit to the right of the significant digit is five(5) and the significant digit is even, the digits are truncated. If the digit to the right of the significant digit is five (5) and the significant digit is odd, the significant digit is rounded up by one (1).
Ex:
0.230,0.231,0.232,0.233,0.234 all round to 0.23
0.235,0.236,0.237,0.238,0.239 all round to 0.24
0.240,0.241,0.242,0.243,0.244 and 0.245 all round to 0.24
0.246,0.247,0.248,0.249 all round to 0.25
I don't know if there is a setting I'm missing or I'm going mad but when I use the round function in VBA it doesn't round.
I am using Excel 2000. See the example attached.
In the cell A2 I have a value 0.525, cell B2 has a formula "=round(A2,2)" which = 0.53, but cell C2 is assigned via VBA ie

and the result is 0.52??

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make an inventory cover page - that shows data of separate products on different sheets with the following;
Product
Date
Previous Total
Amount Taken
New Total
and occasionally there is a Re-issue of stock to the previous total.
This is at the moment an historical record as anyone can see the usage across the dates for any particular product by looking at the sheet. Each time there is a change to the inventory it is recorded on a new row. But what I am trying to do is to copy the last row of data from each sheet to the cover page to show an overall inventory.
The part where I get stuck is making the selection of the last entered row of data [from each sheet] automatically updating the coverpage, when each sheet will get new data added frequently.
I thought about somehow making a duplicate of the last row and locking it in place and linking that to the coverpage - but I still do not have a clue on how to get it to automatically select the last row of the data.

I want to calculate the sum of a column but I have 4 lots of figures going down the column and I only want it to calculate the some of 2 of those 4.
The 4 figures: £4.80, £3.80, 31 & 25.
These 4 figures are within the column multiple times and I just want to have one cell that sums up the £3.80's and £4.80's within the column and then another cell to do a separate sum of the 25's and 31's.
Is this possible, if so how? Does it require an IF SUM formula of some sort?
