Paste only visible numbers in Excel

How would I copy and paste "1.41999995708465", which appears on my screen as "1.42", to actually be "1.42"?  I am comparing the result of a calculation in one column to a rate table in another column.  Both are actually
1.42. In other words, when using two decimals, they agree.  But, due to Excel's extra decimals, I cannot express that fact.  This challenge extends to many rows of data, naturally.

Hi,
The Number precision of Excel is 15 digits. If we set the cell format as Number, we may increase decimal (Click Home tab>Number group).
Next, the ROUND function rounds a number to a specified number of digits.
Syntax: ROUND(number, num_digits)
The ROUND function syntax has the following arguments:
number    Required. The number that you want to round.
num_digits    Required. The number of digits to which you want to round the number argument.

  • Averaging only visible numbers in a column

    I am trying to perform functions only on the visible numbers in a column. I have sorted the column so that only certain numbers are visible. I want to average these visible numbers, but numbers is averaging all of the numbers in the column, even the hidden ones. Any help?

    5|=vv,
    sum in other programs doesn't work this way either, they tend to use the subtotal function with an argument telling it the function to perform on a filtered list. (Yes, I just double checked myself).
    Its not that Numbers doesn't do it correct. It is doing it the same way every other program does it. For consistancy.
    We are missing the subtotal function that everyone is used to M$ programs adding for you when a filtered list is detected.

  • How do I paste a table from Numbers or Excel into Ibook Author exactly as the original?

    I am new to iMac and Ibook Author.
    I am writing a statistical paper in Ibooks Author.
    I have Chapter heading, now section heading and body.  I want to paste a table from numbers or excel into my iBook as this has the results of my analysis.
    As part of my analysis, I want to copy a 5 column table with 633 rows, which is essentially my table of data.  I have the table in numbers and excel.
    When I copy the table in numbers or excel, followed by pasting (CmD V) into iBooks, I get the first 20 rows in a table format and the remainder of the table is missing.  The table appears to end at the end of the page.
    I can not figure out how to paste the entire data as my table.
    Its holding me back...
    Any ideas?

    Hello Loquitir,
    I am not fully sure if I understand but I gather since there are so many rows only a certain amount fits on a single page.
    How many rows does actually fit on a page in iBooks Author?
    There is a method that would look pretty cool that is used to create a double page spread that would look great but instead of having a double page you could maybe have three or four pages.
    Here is a quick idea that I stuck together, additionally when you are copying and pasting form Numbers to iBooks Author just select the cells that you want.
    Copy and paste within iBooks Author and then go back and get the next row of the table that you want.
    I hope I am clear in what I am describing.
    Regards,

  • Autocad 2010 drawing pasted in microsoft excel 2007 spread sheet not visible after converting excel

    Hello, I am having an issue with Autocad 2010 drawings not showing up in a pdf document. Normally, I cut and paste part of an Autocad 2010 drawing into a Microsoft Excel 2007 spread sheet. Then, using Adobe Distiller, I convert the Excel spread sheet into a pdf document for propriatary purposes. However, recently the drawing pasted into Excel will not fully appear on the pdf, the drawing is cut off past a certain point. The drawing will print normally in Excel, but in pdf will not print normally. If the drawing is shrunk below the "cut off" point, it appears normally. If the drawing is expanded above the "cut off" point, any additional image is lost. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem would be appreciated.

  • I use Numbers on my iMac.  Now it says I need an update to do anything, even see past projects.  Numbers 3.1 was installed on my mac on 1/25/14.  Can you help?

    I use Numbers on my imac.  Now it tells me I need an update.  It no longer allows me to even see past projects.  Numbers 3.1 was installed on my computer on 1/25/14.  Can anyone help?

    A CAUTION
    The article linked in YeOldMacFan's post gives the basic information. I would place some emphasis on these statements from the last two paragraphs:
    "If you have no further need for the older version of the iWork application or the iWork suite on your Mac, you may delete the the application or the iWork suite by dragging the application or the iWork folder to the trash."
    "[Keeping both versions] allows you to maintain consistent versions when collaborating with other people who may not have the latest iWork suite."
    Collaboration with other people is not the only reason for keeping both new and old versions of Numbers (or Pages of Keynote) available.
    The current versions were developed with the goal of improving compatibility between iOS, OS X and iCloud transferability of files, and many features supported in the '09 versions of these applications are NOT supported (yet) in the new versions. If you need these features for your work, then you still have a need for the older versions.
    Any file opened, then saved from the new versions cn no longer be opened in the older version. Unsupported features may be removed on importing he file into the new version. The file may be exported from the new version as a Numbers '09 file, which may then be opened in Numbers '09, but unsupported features removed in the import to Numbers 3 will not be restored in the export.
    Use your own judgement as to whether to keep of delete Numbers '09. My choice would be to keep it.
    My personal choice has been to delay installing the new versions of Numbers Pages and Keynote until support for more of the 'missing' features has been restored.

  • Copy and paste Values from Numbers to Pages

    When I do simple copy and paste content from Numbers to Pages, I get a formula error message. All I want to copy and paste the values only, not the formulas, but on pages I cannot find a way to paste values only. When it tries to paste formula, it errors because some of the formulas references to other sheets on Numbers. What is the easy way to get values from Numbers tables to pages without passing formulas.
    Or better yet! Is there a way to link tables to pages like charts with refresh capabilities so I don't have to copy and paste values to pages document every time Numbers table values changes?

    J,
    There is no Paste Special in OSX, anywhere. You can Paste Values from the Edit menu in Numbers when that would be necessary.
    In such cases where you would use Paste Values in Numbers, you can use Paste and Match Style in Pages for the same result.
    Sometimes it's so obvious to Pages what should be done that it will give you what you need automatically, but sometimes you need to use Paste and Match Style to get the values rather than an error triangle.

  • "This document was created with an unsupported version of Excel. Only documents created with Excel '97 or later can be opened.

    I keep getting this message when I try to open an Excel file "This document was created with an unsupported version of Excel. Only documents created with Excel ’97 or later can be opened.

    You could try opening the Excel document with LibreOffice and then resaving it in a compatible version before opening in Numbers.

  • Numbers and Excel

    Hello,
    New apple user here... I was assured at the Apple store that the iWork and Office programs (e.g., numbers=excel, pages=word) were compatible and that I could use the iWork package to work from home.
    Well, here we are at crunch time, and I cannot even open any of the files that have been emailed by my office (excel and word documents -- and the help desk is not open). Can anyone tell me how to open these files, or was I naive in believing the sales person that these packages are compatible???
    Also, from reviewing the discussion boards, it appears I'm going to have trouble sending these documents back to the office via email. Is that true, too?
    Any insight is very appreciated!
    Thanks, MdL

    first, there is a size limit on what you can open in numbers from excel. And I believe it is based on your computers installed memory.
    Second, yes you can email the files back. but you might need to view it in excel to delete one or more "index" pages. Since numbers can contain multiple "tables" per "sheet". Excel can only work with 1 table per sheet. So numbers will take any additional tables and make them their own standalone sheets in excel.
    these new sheets are listed in a table of contents type page (there are ways of telling it not to produce this page, search on here for it).
    The salesperson should have asked more detailed questions. I would never have told you to completely abandon Excel until after you had tested numbers to see if it would do what you wanted it to do. Numbers is NOT meant to be a complete excel replacement. It is NOT meant to be corporate level productivity. Its is meant to be "The spreadsheet for the rest of us" (Steve Jobs, August 2007).
    hope this helps even a little bit,
    Jason
    I can never find the page I am looking for. I never quite enter the right query words in the search box. If anyone else has the size limitation technical article page, please post the link for me... I will keep looking for it.

    Just adding to what CSound has said.
    Pages and Numbers will change Word and Excel documents when they open and close them.
    Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes not. With the latest versions of Pages and Numbers, more likely not.
    So don't think you are going to work with MsOffice files without problems. You will always have something not right and in some cases really annoyingly not right. Like having all the text from Pages appear bold in MsWord, or page breaks in the wrong place or some objects and graphics not appearing in one or the other.
    If working between different Operating Systems and MsOffice files, I also recommend LibreOffice. It opens and saves nearly all file formats. Unfortunately not .pages or numbers. Yet. The folks at LibreOffice are busy adding to it all the time, and making sure it works in all Operating systems, Mac, Windows and Linux and they are promising iOS as well soon.
