    Two different results from the same figures

    I have one block that genereates a result from preceeding formulas, and another block that generates a result from setout numbers.

    The problem I have is that all figures are the same but the results are different? I want to know why?

    PLEASE see attached file as example...

    It is because of the precision level...the results of I4 and I5 are actually to many decimal places.. where the numbers in L4 and L5 are precisely to 1 decimal place.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Thanks for the help... Is there a way to return a result with 2 or 4 decimal places?

    To get same result:

    =(1-ROUND(I5,1))*ROUND(I4,1)/ROUND(I5,1)
