    Excel 2003 formula is not calculating the same answer as ten key, off by 2.

    The formula in in G14 of the attached spreadsheet, shows calculation result of D13 (1921.80) divided by G12 (3.7) equalling 517.407692307695. This is incorrect, it should be 519.405405405. It's driving me crazy! How do I fix this?

    it a rounding error....G12 is not really 3.7....its 3.7142857 and when you do the 10 key you probably just did 3.7

    =IF(G12=0,0,D13/ROUND(G12,1))
    try this

    Please consider adding a * if I helped

    Nothing drives me crazy - I'm always close enough to walk....
