Error when trying to multiply two decimal numbers????
Hi,
F13 = B13*C13 gives me an error"#VALUE!" when B13 = 1.79 and C13 = 89.46 but calculates the correct answer when B13 = 2 and C13 = 89 (or any other integers)
Why is this happening? Is this a settings error? What should I do?
Thanks
Aravind_D_Varma I suspect that your local settings accept a comma as the decimal separator, i.e. not a point. Try 1,79 and 89,46 in stead.

Riny_van_Eekelen thank you so much, this actually worked
Please have a look at the cell formatting (right mouse button).
There you can change the format of the cells.
If it isn't then I recommend you like anyone else.
Please insert a file (without sensitive data) so you can see where the error could be, or exclude sources of error.B13 C13 F13

I would be happy to know if I could help.
