Excel：使用单元格的值代替另一个公式中的公式

Question

I am getting incorrect results in excel when cross-referencing formulas.

I firstly created a cell D4 = AVERAGE(D1:D3) formatted in a percent 2.70% .

Now I am trying to use this percent in D4 to multiply a number in cell A1 , 176522.5 which should give me the answer 4766.1075 however Excel is returning the value 4758.19902 which is incorrect.

I think the problem is coming from Excel using the AVERAGE(D1:D3 instead of the actual value in the cell.

Apologies is this may seem trivial.

How can I force Excel to use the actual value and not the formula?

Answer 1

=ROUND(your formula , 2)

2 represents the number or decimal points you want to use. a negative number will round to the left of the decimal. set 2 to be a number that matches however many decimal points you are using. in the case of a percentage, you may need to add 2 to the number of decimal places.
