I'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 RepliesI 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 1 Replies View RelatedIs 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 Replies View RelatedIn my code, I'm calculating a very simple ratio and have the result displayed in a message box. However, I want to have this value only show 1 or 2 significant figures (e.g. if I take 9 / 7, I want to show 1.3 and not 1.28571).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a column of numbers, all with varying numbers of digits. I want to make them all have only 4 DIGITS in total (regardless of where the decimal is located... so there could be 4,3, 2, 1,or, 0 decimal places). I just want to make everything the same number of digits.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy 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.
Does 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)
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 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 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
Sheet1.Cells(2, 3).Value = Round(Sheet1.Cells(2, 1).Value, 2)

I need to indicate if the figures for this week has gone up or down compared to last weeks figures.
So looking at the attached, I need to add a column (I5) to sheet Admitted Patients WE 20081005, so it compares the % treated in <18 wks figure by specialty to previous weeks figures on sheet Admitted Patients WE 20080921.
Ideally I would love an arrow either point up if the figures has increased or down if they have reduced.

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?

I have 2 spreadsheets, one is on crew costs and the other one is a summary page. On "crew cost" worksheet, say A1= IBM, B1 =Microsoft, C1=HP and D1=Pioneer. I want to link A1 to D1 to cells A1 to D4 on "summary page".
However, I do not want to use "paste special", "transpose" function as I may need to add in columns to "crew cost" spreadsheet.
Instead I hope that I could link A1 on "crew cost" spreadsheet to A1 on "summary page" spreadsheet. Then I hope to drag the formula from A1 down to D4. The result will be A1= IBM, B2 =Microsoft, C3=HP and D4=Pioneer on "summary page" spreadsheet.
However, it does not work as dragging only occurs through columns or through rows. Is there any formula that I can use?
I am working with percentages, and trying to avoid #DIV/0! Errors at the same time.
Lets assume column A holds last years figures, and column B holds this years figures, column C calculates the difference in percentages.
I am having dificulty where say A1 = 0 B1 = 10 (C1 Should be 100%)
then what happens if A2 = 5 and B2 = 0 (C2 Should be - 100%)
Is there a common formula that will account for all possible + or - figures in A and/or B that will also suppress #DIV/0! Errors?
I have a list of 30 numbers representing receipts due. I have one receipt which I know must represent the sum of some of these numbers. Is there anyway in Excel that I can highlight the range of 30 numbers and ask Excel to sample all possible combinations to find which numbers add up to my total receipt?
