Rounding
How can I round an entire section of numbers at one time without going into each formula and adding the Round function? I want the calculated number to end up with only 2 decimal points and not just display 2 decimal points. I don't want to use the number formatting as that will just change the way the numbers are displayed.
For instance:
8543.236985 - want the calculated number to be 8543.24
8542.48792 - want the calculated number to be 8542.49
6877.1 - want the calculated number to be 6877.10
- According to this it was removed as part of the transition to enterprise data protection and will be back sometime in Q4 2024... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/copilot/faq#features

- ChrisM1222Copper Contributorthis only displays the number as 2 decimal places but the actual number in the cell extends past that.

Not the case here or I don't understand what you mean with "the actual number in the cell extends past that"
One possible solution:
- Select File > Options.
- Select Advanced.
- Scroll down to the section 'When calculating this workbook'.
- Tick the check box 'Set precision as displayed'.
- Click OK.
- Set the number format of the cells to Number with 2 decimal places.
- Excel will round the stored values of the cells to 2 decimal places.
- Warning: this will affect all formatted cells in the workbook. It won't affect other workbooks.
Another option would be VBA code.
