decimal places within a formula

P

Is there a way to set up a number within an equation to have onlyt
decimal places? The cells are already formatted to have this, but th
data within the cells contains more decimal places which is what i
used when the sum() function is run. Since the anwser to this functio
is used in comparison with other numbers, the answer needs to come ou
to 2 decimal places in order to match up

There's an option in the main options dialog to use "precision a
displayed" which would cause it to only use the two decimal place
displayed

*array-enter*

=SUM(ROUND(A1:A10,2))

To *array-enter*, hold down <ctrl><shift> while hitting <enter>. Excel will
place braces {...} around the formula.

= int (sum(X:X)*100) / 100

You may be correct in deciphering what the OP wants.

But I would point out that your procedure will give different results from
adding up the entries rounded first to two decimal places.
