When I used =ROUND(SUM(B1:B4),0) the result was 0.

G'day Amit,

You have a very strange matter. If you increase the number of displayed decimals for your data, you will find that the Result has some numbers magically appear from about 14 decimal places in, without any corresponding decimals in the other four numbers.

If you change your cell format to Number and set the decimals to 2, the correct result is displayed

Edit to add - which is ok if you don't use that result for any other calculation - if you do then RasGhul's option is by far the better option.

Cheers

shane
