I have read something about a 'binary floating decimal point' issue that will sometimes cause simple, whole numbers to function as if the number is really different. Example: you can take 1,059, maybe and subtract 1,030, but the result might be something like 29.000001110010000287870.
I have a current spreadsheet where some of the numbers work like this - they are all just constants - no formulas, and what's more - here's the 'kicker'....
If I select the cells one by one going down and watch the autosum at the bottom of the screen, I will see all zeroes up to 30 decimal places up to row 60. BUT, if I use PageDN two times to select those same cells, then I start seeing the autosum at the bottom showing weird decimals, not zeroes!
Any ideas?
ps: I've tried using the Round function to see if it might fix the original issue, but no luck.
