    Desire Sum to add visible figures rather than underlying decimals

    I have a column of decimals which, through formating, I ask that only the
    whole number be visible. The "Sum" function is adding the underlying
    decimals rather than the visible whole numbers. ie; 2.4 + 2.4 = 4.8 (rounded
    to 5) however I would like 2.4 (rounded to 2) + 2.4 (rounded to 2) to equal
    4. How do I make that happen?
    Thanks for any input

    i think you need to do it as an array formula
    =SUM(INT(A1:A2))
    when you're done typing your formula instead of pressing enter press ctrl-shift-enter. it'll add some curly brackets
    {=SUM(INT(A1:A2))}

    RE: Desire Sum to add visible figures rather than underlying decimals

    Try something like this:

    For values in A1:A10

    This formula rounds each value to zero decimal places and sums them:
    =SUMPRODUCT(ROUND(A1:A10,0))

    Consequently, if each cell in A1:A10 contains 2.4
    that formula will return 20. Where the SUM would be 24
    Does that help?
