Hi Mrexcel Experts

Am wondering how to go about this last problem, the VBA WAY, currently facing me in my Numerical Analysis.

My data starts on Cell A2 and ends on Cell U..eg. A2:U11200, A2:U17000 etc.
Row 1 is Header.

In my bid to further ensure "exactitude" of data due to "round-off errors", I need to use up ALL digits after 2 d.p to the last d.p excluding the last zeroes.

NOTE: HAVE STANDARDISED ALL NO.S TO 1., 2., 3., ETC FOR SIMPLICITY.

First, the code to identify the value within the row (from Columns N,P,R,S,T,U) with the longest digits & count the digits AFTER THE 2 d.p. UP TO THE START OF UNENDING ZEROES (Eg. - 1.18338760000 - If 5, THEN make 5 row copies downwards - to ensure 3 to 5 d.ps are all captured AS IN 1.18, 1.183, 1.1833, 1.18339, 1.183388 & 1.1833876.
IGNORE DUPLICATES & ZEROES FOR THE OTHER NUMBERS!

The first copy begins with 2 decimal places rounded-off, then 3,4,5 to last d.p.

Eg. 1 Columns N,P,R,S,T,U
9 Extra Copies needed downwards. (Based on Col. R)
N. 1.18338760000
P. 3.867670000
R. 1.516447368420000
S. 5.33356560000
T. 1.58675680000
U. 2.1033780000

Eg. 2 Columns N,P,R,S,T,U
12 Extra Copies needed downwards. (Based on Col. U)
N. 1.183340000
P. 3.867560000
R. 2.1033550000
S. 5.33397660000
T. 1.58675780000
U. 1.454545454545450000

Kindly help out. (ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES ARE WELCOME).
