    Take a number down to just two decimal places (true, not just formatted)

    I have a number that started out 14 decimal places and I want to take it down to only two:

    So 1.00052423747213 will become 1.00

    I know how to format the cell to only show 1.00 but I want the true number in that cell to be 1.00. How do I convert?

    Thanks for the help!

    =round(a1,2)

    To round up use
    =roundup(A1,2)

    To round down use
    =rounddown(A1,2)
    Life's a spreadsheet, Excel!

    For it to not round at all...Just cut off digits after the 2nd decimal..

    =TRUNC(A1,2)
