    Rounding Error Help

    Hi All

    The enclosed spread sheet uses the exact same figures however, they are from 2 different spread sheets.

    The precednets are exactly the same as too are the formulas however, the results of the formula vary by the 10th decimal place and I cant for the life of me figure out why. Any help or explanation would be greatfully apprechated.

    Thnaks in advance.

    How were they entered?

    If I go to D2 and hit F2 to activate and hit Enter, then we are all good....
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    The two numbers are not exactly the same.

    The Double in B1 is 40E7BB82E147AE14
    The Double in B2 is 40E7BB82E147AE16
