    excel formula - round problem

    round(K$28,4) Since you are formatting in percentage you need to take this into account a value of 0.52% is a number to 4 decimal places so therefore you get: 0.52% round(value,2)= 1.00% 0.52% round(value,3)= 0.50% 0.52% round(value,4)= 0.52% Robert Cumming www.consultantengineer.co.uk

    Data Validation

    If column B is fixed format/szie you could do it with if statements, however it would be messy and I imagine that it is not? Therefore if column B is dynamic then I think youd proabbly need to use vba to search through a column b and react accordingly. Robert Cumming...
