Hello everybody,

I've just started using Pivot Tables and have a problem right away. Couldn't find anything with the search function, but am not really sure, what to search for, either :(

Part of my data looks like this

<TABLE style="WIDTH: 246pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=326 border=0 x:str><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 77pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 3264" width=102><COL style="WIDTH: 52pt;

Now this is a material that is stored on a pallet with the code CB18C. The total sum of material that is added to/taken from this pallet adds up to Zero. My Pivot Table, however, believes the total is something like [FONT=宋体]2.84217E-14. [/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]This problem occurs several times, the raw data adds up to Zero, but the Pivot Table calculates these tiny, tiny totals. Is this a known bug or can Pivots not handle 3 decimal data?[/FONT]

[FONT=宋体]Thanks for any help![/FONT]
