Round To X Significant Figures
Aug 31, 2006I'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.

Feb 26, 2008I 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.
Round To Significant Figures Digits
Aug 23, 2007Is 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 4 Replies View RelatedExcel 2007 :: Formula To Add Figures Together When Doing VLookup
Dec 9, 2013I am using Excel 2007, I have a customer sheet and a sales sheet in the same work book. My customer sheet lists all customers with a single entry only each with a unique customer code. My Sales sheet lists at an item level but does include the customer code so if my customer has purchased more than one item the customer code can be repeated on the Sales sheet on multiple rows.
When I do a vlookup to display the amount each customer has spent on the customer sheet, only the very first sales figure is displayed, if further down the sales sheet the same customer has made another purchase I want this figure to be added to the first figure and all I want to see on my customer sheet is the final total figure.
The vlookup formula I am currently using is:
=VLOOKUP(G2,Sales!$A$2:$B$1785,2,FALSE),
I'm thinking maybe a Vlookup will not do what I require, maybe I need a different formula/function?

Excel 2010 :: Round To Nearest 0.25?
Feb 26, 2013I'm using Excel2010. I have a spreadsheet of loan information contained in rows. One of the columns lists the loan rate as a number (not a percent - so 5.25% is listed as 5.25, not 0.0525 and formated as percent). I need to pivot-table using the rate, rounded up to the nearest quarter of a percent (so 5.3875 rounds up to 5.50). Is there a formula to do this, or is it better to use a lookup table?

Feb 17, 2012Excel 2007, Windows XP
I am concatenating some cells into an array. The amount fields should always have just 2 rounded digits following the decimal. What should change in the following VBA code to achieve that result?
Currently Cells(r, 6) & Cells(r, 7) could have these values:
1.5
24.78945678
45.2341
What I want is rounded values to 2 decimals:
1.50
24.79
45.23
The array is used as an input parameter in a remotely called function module, after logging into the remote system, SAP.
' delim is a | character
' Populate Myarray with data from all rows
' - Only from rows which are not hidden ' 05/23/2008
For r = 1 To row_count 'r is row number
if worksheets("JEMASTER").rows(r).hidden = false then
i = i + 1 'increment myarray index by 1
myarray.AppendRow

Does Excel have a function that will return the first x significant numbers? No rounding; just the first three numbers.
Specific Number Of Significant Digits
Nov 3, 2007Does 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:

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)
Rounding Based On Significant Digit Value
Dec 16, 2013how 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

VBA Round Function Vs Worksheet Round Function
Oct 24, 2006I 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
Sheet1.Cells(2, 3).Value = Round(Sheet1.Cells(2, 1).Value, 2)
and the result is 0.52??

Jul 15, 2009I 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.

SUM Formula For Certain Figures In A Column?
Jul 28, 2014I 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?
