    Post Getting false for matched columns number

    why I am getting false in this while it is equal value in both the columns , I used a formula in column E that is (=G13+D12) to calculate the value and I got the output as 12.06633. I have another column that is column H and in that the value in 12.06633 which is equal to column E, but when I am comparing the both in column K by using formula (=E=H) then it showing False while the value is equal in both, so what is wrong in this and how to solve it

    Welcome to the forum.

    This may be a floating point error (Google it). To be sure, please attach a sample workbook.

    If the output is 12.06633 and the cell is formatted as a number with 5 decimals, you are not sure it is exact 12.06633.
    The number is then rounded to 5 decimal places equal to 12.06633.
    The number can be between 12.066325 and 12.066335.
