Re: Rounding a Rounded Number

Hi Don,
I'm not sure the one-liner would give the result I needed.
The calculation is payroll related and I need to round the first reponse
before multiplying again.
If I get three decimals in the first calculation and multiply that by
another number without having rounded the first answer, wouldn't I get a
different answer than if I had rounded the first calculation?
For example, if I get 1.549 in the first calcuation and multiply by 1.1,
then: 1.549 * 1.1 = 1.7039 rounded to 1.70
If I round the 1.549 to 1.55, then: 1.55 * 1.1 = 1.705 rounded to 1.71

You didn't like the one liner.

sub oneliner()
MsgBox Round(Range("a1") * 1.075 * 0.25, 2)

Nick,

That was it - the variable needed to be double precision - although I
don't
know why.

Thanks for the early Christmas present!

Warmest regards....
