Sorry about the title but this is really difficult to explain. I hope it makes sense.

B & D are products of a calculation of A with another cell. C is B*0.95 and E is D*0.95. I need B & D to be whole numbers for the purpose of the calculation in C & E. If I format B & D to a number with 0 decimal places, the calculation still thinks it has decimal places -

when in fact, 25.0 x 0.95 = 23.75 (24).

Am I being stupid (don't answer that!) or can this be done in some way without the need to add extra columns with additional staging calculations?

Thanks in advance
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
when in fact, 25.0 x 0.95 = 23.75 (24).
I also face such complex situation where you need to know exact number yet any round UP/down distorst results

The solution is that in display (format) you choose zero decimal places and in background excel woll multiply with decimal figures only. This will serve both purposes for you.

Hope it helps

How about
Excel Formula:
=ROUND(B2,0)*0.95

Actually my XL2BB is giving problem so I can only add screenshot to help you understand

It's a very long calculation, I have just shown you small part of it.

Any change in decimals can deviate end results by huge numbers. so found the solution I suggested you and I'm using.

Hi Sanjay, I think you're suggesting using format cells>number>0 decimal places - correct? If so, this does not work for me. When multiplying that by 0.95 (95%), I get 23 and not 24 as it seems to still take the full number. I think the "0 decimal places" is simply a mask rather than an actual rounding.

Hi Fluff,, Thanks for your reply but If I put replace C [=SUM(B2*0.95)] with your suggestion, the product is "0". Could this be because B is a calculated cell?

B & D are products of a calculation of A with another cell. ..... I need B & D to be whole numbers
Please show us the calculations that you currently have for B & D and tell us what is in the "another cell"

XL2BB would be very helpful for the above request.

It's a golf handicap calculator for our golf group. I have highlighted a cell which illustrates the issue.
