In your case the sum calculation is based on the actual multiplication
result in the individual cells to a large number of decimal places, and
then the displayed sum shortened to show the decimal places set by the
formatting preference.

The (sum of the original entries) multiplied by (1,22) displayed to two
decimal places is not likely to display exactly the same as the sum of
(individual entries) multiplied by (the same multiplier).

That pretty well SUMs it up.  ;-)


Hi,

There is a setting for calc where you can have the total as shown and not as calculated:

Settings

Go to tools, options, calc, calculate, and check the box "Precision as Shown"

Don
Is this saved on a per spreadsheet basis or is it global (do I need to change it back and forth, if I open 2 sheets can one be "Precision as Shown" and the other normal.
