    hello there!

    multiplies numbers wrong...

    for example.. I enter formula like this =H18*I18
    and it should multiply 412 times 1,6 and total should be 659,2 and the computer shows: 658,88

    ??? I cant understand why this happening...

    Are you sure the values 412 and/or 1600 are not formatted to display no decimal places?

    i.e. what do you see in the formula bar if you click on the cells with 412 and 1,1600?
