Hello,

I'm having difficulty trying to limit the decimal places to 2... the photo attached will show my code and my issue in cell G3; the reading for the dollars is more than 2 spaces. Is there a better code I should be using for this type of output?

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
use TEXT()

So instead of (G2*F3) = Text((G2*F3),"0.00")
OR

Text((G2*F3),"#,##0.00") to get , 1000 seperator
