How do I stop numbers rounding up amounts I enter?

I am trying to enter accounts into numbers and when I enter, for example, £24.60 numbers changes it to £25 as soon as I click off the cell. I understand that this does not effect the calculations but I need it to appear as I enter it for when I print it out and send it to others to view. Any help greatly appreciated.

Set the cell's format to Currency and the precision to 2 decimal places.
The setting is done in the Cell Format inspector, and is applied to all selected cells.
Enter 25 (as I did) or 25.00. Numbers will add the currency sign. Entries with more than two places after the decimal (eg. 24.999) will be displayed as that value rounded to the nearest hundredth (eg. £25.00) but the actual contents of the cell, and the value used in calculations, will be the value that was entered (24.999).

Barry

  • How do I stop Numbers from rounding results of a quotient?

    I'm trying to set up a spreadsheet that will automatically calculate what each of my housemates owes me for utilites. Currently, I have it set so that I can enter in one to three different bills and it will add them up, and it is set to divide the total by 7 to give what each person owes. Currently, I am trying to divide $37.59 by 7, but it is rounding each answer to $5.00, which is incorrect. I have all of the cells set to currency, and each at 2 decimal places. My exact quotient cell is as follows:
    =QUOTIENT(C14,7)
    Any help on how I can get it to display the exact monetary value after the division would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    QUOTIENT works with integers (or the integer part of a decimal numbers, so what you're seeing it the result of this arithmetic exercise (without the remainder):
    The remainder is provided by the MOD (short for modul0) function.
    Jerry is correct in describing the result you want as the "precise" answer rather than the "exact" answer. While both are the same for your example, the example is a special case.
    Had you spent only a penny more (or a penny less) there would be no "exact" answer to the question "amount" divided by seven. There would be a correct answer, precise to the nearest hundredth of a dollar.

  • Adobe Reader XI - How do i stop numbers being rounded up on forms

    Hi,
    I am using the Adobe Reader XI, with regards to filing in figures on forms that I use. The form keeps on rounding up numbers. For example if I type in 2.5 and go to the next box on the form, the figure will immediately change to 3. It is extremely frustrating and in my line of work the figures have to be exact. Please can anyone help and advise if there is anything I can do or settings that I can change to be able to keep numbers on the form with decimal points showing without them being rounded up.
    Thanks

    To emphasise: this happens only if the designer of the form decides to not allow any decimal places.

  • How do I stop numbers from automatically changing 8-6 to August 6, 2013?

    Hi Britt,
    Try formatting the cells where this is to be entered as Text before entering the information. The default formatting is Automatic, which means that Numbers goes with what it determines to be an 'appropriate' format for the data you enter.

  • How do I stop Numbers from changing my number data into a date?

    I am trying to create a chart and some of the data ranges from 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, etc...
    When I enter 5-9 on a field, it automatically changes to May 9, 2012. Any help is appreciated.

    L,
    Your ranges need to be in a Header Column, and your values in the second column, a body column.
    Before you begin entering your ranges, set the Format of the Header Column to Text.
    That will prevent the "5-9" entry from converting to a date.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    In the table where you enter the data, click on the header of the row or column to select the entire range (column B shown selected here).
    Then click the down-arrow button at the right end of the Format buttons and select Numeral System:
    In the Cell Format/Numeral System pop-up, select the options you desire:
    Be sure to begin your entry with the = 'equals' sign if you want the result of the calculation displayed.

  • TS4337 How do I stop iCal from automatically converting manually entered times into entries on my hourly calendar?

    I use the monthly calendar view in iCal.
    I enter an event as such: "lunch with mom @ 3" so I can just look at my monthly calendar at a glance and see what time things are.
    In the latest update, it now automatically strips that entry of "@ 3" and converts it to the hourly calendar, which I never use or want to look at, adding a layer of clicking between me and the info I need.
    Is there a way to turn that off? Or do I just need to find a new calendar app to use and/or never update any Apple software again for fear of them changing the features I use?

    Try lunch with mom at 3 instead
    I tried and the text was not stripped and the event was entered at the correct time

  • Cfchart - how do I stop percent value from rounding

    I am trying to present a simple chart with
    labelformat="percent" (see below).
    The problem is that the values being presented are decimal
    values between 1 and 2. Although it appears to put the data markers
    in the correct placed, it is rounding the label to the nearest
    integer. so 1.86% becomes 2%, 1.44% becomes 1% etc.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can stop this
    rounding?
    Thanks in advance.
    ==============================
    <cfchart style="blue" show3D="no" chartwidth="800"

    select the cells with the dollar amounts, then open the cell formatter and select "Currency"
    Now set the number of decimal places.  Note... Numbers will round to the number of digits you select so you should know that what you see in the cell may be different that what you typed into the cell.
    If you set the number of digits in the cell formatter to 3, then type in a value "1.2368", Numbers will display "1.237"

  • PSE v13 on mac, organizer spontaneously adds images duplicates.  How do I stop this from happening?

    just purchased PSE v13 on mac, primarily using the organizer
    issue - Organizer spontaneously adds image duplicates. 
    How do I stop this from happening?

    I enter misc. items in each metadata file, ie. document title, author, description, keywords, copyright notice, etc.  Each image has it's own metadata file, with unique keywords, which are unique to that image. The keywords then show up on the right side of PSE organizer under 'imported keyword tags'.  Then I can select a keyword, unique to that image and wa...la... that image only appears in organizer.  I have been doing this for years (like probably 10). But this is the first time I have experienced the duplication issue.
    Not adding any auto-adjustments in Organizer as far as I know.
    The names are not duplicated in organizer, but appear as ie. scnr0122.jpg and scnr0122-1.jpg.  But the '-1' is not found on my server.  Apparently they are being added from another source.  Is it possible they are being pulled from a cloud server, ie. creative cloud or revel??  I do have the same files on those cloud servers, but am not intentionally duplicating the import.
    here is an interesting side item. 
    Did you know that a man was convicted of murder because of the info found in the metadata of his files?

While that is going on Pages on my iPad is frozen and I can't open the document. When I logged onto my iCloud account I found that the document is updated there.

  • HT1296 How can I stop and delete facebook names and phone numbers from my iphone

    How can I stop facebook names and phone numbers from being downloaded to my iphone and how can I delete the ones that are already there?

    A better way might be
    Settings > Facebook > Contacts > turn off.
    There are other Facebook settings you might want to leave on. But I also prefer to turn off Calendar there as well to keep every Facebook friends birthday from clogging up my calendar app.

  • With the new version of numbers, 3.0, how can I stop the spread sheet from scrolling horizontally without reducing the size?

    With the new version of numbers, 3.0, how can I stop the document from moving horizontally?  When I scroll up or down I find it annoying that the document might shift to the left, and then I have to scroll it back to the right.  The only way I've found to stop it from moving horizontally is by reducing the document down to about 50%, but then I can't read the document.  I prefer having the document set at 125%, but then the bottom horizontal scroll bar shows up, and then the document can shift to the left if I'm not exact with my scrolling up or down.

  • How can I stop iTunes from numbering ripped files?

    How can I stop iTunes 11.2.1 from automatically adding numbering before track titles when I rip files from a CD? I used to be able to do this generations of iTunes ago but later versions don't seem to offer an option to turn this off. All ideas, tips, suggestions and hints welcome.

    Thanks very much for your reply. I'm not ripping music but rather audiobook CDs which I then use Audiobook Builder to create audiobooks I can "read" on my iDevice. On the odd occasion iTunes will "recognize" the audiobook CD and offer to import metadata for it ... which is almost always incorrect. Thus, I usually decline the metadata import and enter the appropriate and correct metadata via Get Info. Then, when I import the files from the CD, iTunes automatically numbers each file ahead of the file title. I was previously able to disable this behavior but I can't find any way to do so in iTunes 11.2.1. Some have said TinkerTool used to provide this feature but no longer does. I don't know if TinkerTool has a Mavericks-compatible version - I'll have to check that out. If not, then I'm still trying to find a way to disable automatic track numbering in iTunes when ripping audiobook CDs. Thanks again for your reply ... I 'preciate it.
