Default Penny rounding!


Gordon, the trouble is not that I can't do as you've suggested, the
problem is that almost all the columns are showing errors because of
the tiny roundings up in the original transactions. What I need to know
is how to enter the 17.5% in such a way that Excel will ignore those
little differences. I don't care if we pay 12 pence too much tax on a
quarter million pound bill, but I just dont know how to enter the
command "tell me if column 2 is 117.5% of column 1 plus or minus .5%".
Is there a way of saying "Tell me if the total in column 2 is outside
the parameters 17-18%".

I really need Excel to flag up the appalling errors and not the little
ones.

IF(A2A1*_17.5%_,1,"").

Can I change this value to a spread of between 17 and 18%?
