    Cannot change decimal place's?

    Hi,

    For some reason my formula creates a value that I cannot adjust the decimal points for?

    Any ideas?


    Thanks in advance

    Sam

    Is the value returned in text form?

    Probably cannot help much without knowing what the formula is.

    Is it a text formula (mid, left, right, etc) that generates a text string rather than a real number? If so, you might nest the whole thing inside of the VALUE() function. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...583.aspx?CTT=1

    Hi,

    No, currency.

    I think I have figured it, sorry. The formula contained SUBSTITUTE which when removed now returns the correct value?

    I can get around this by using the correct terminology in the look up table.

    Any ideas why this happens for future reference?
