So I have the following formula

=IF(K9<D7,"Unacceptable","Acceptable")

Both values are the same (£592,543.21) but the formula still displays the result 'Unacceptable'.

I think this might be down to the 'accounting formatting'. The general values are - D7 = 592543.21 & K9 = 592543.2099. Using these values, the formula is correctly displaying the 'unacceptable' result.

How can I display as ' Accounting formatting - £' but have it so that the figures as seen as equal and thus display as 'acceptable' ?

Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
How about
=IF(round(K9,2)<round(D7,2),"Unacceptable","Acceptable")
