Getting rid of the 0.01 difference

If you put =Pi() into A1 and format A1 to 2 decimal points, and then reference A1 in a formula, it'll use 3.14. If you uncheck "precision as displayed, the formula = Pi() will then calculate pi out to 15 places again and nothing lost. If, however, you manually entered 3.141593 into A1, and later turn off Precision as displayed and try to increase the number of decimal places, you'll get 3.140000

Ya, this thing should be handy for me. Because i am in the accounting field. I always need to issue invoice to customer and my supporting document is always excel. You should know customer will complain even if we bill them $0.01 more. My support show i charge them for $3.33 for an item and another item $2.33. However, the total shows $5.67 instead of $5.66......
