I'm using excel to sum up all the hours that my team worked on. However, the hours are displayed as 31.60 or 31.70
I want to convert 31.60 = 32 or 31.70 = 32.10. Just need the numbers, no formatting text.
You could take the decimal part like A1-INT(A1) where A1 is your data and divide it by 0.6. The integer result that you get is added to the integer part of your cell. And finally add the rest of the division. I didn't manage to keep it short.
=INT(A1)+ INT((A1-INT(A1))/0.6)+ MOD((A1-INT(A1)),0.6)

I am Calculating Over Time of the employees in time format cell using Microsoft Excel 2007. In my result, its calculated as hh and mm. But I want only Hours and ignore Min.
Eg : I have to get this result of SANIA SARWER 0.18 as 0.0
See the screenshot below.
=SUMPRODUCT(Int(24*$B:$B),--($A:$A=D2))
How does it work?
Well, SUMPRODUCT will go through each item and multiply them together (So SUMPRODUCT(A1:A3,B1:B3) is the same as =(A1*B1)+(A2*B2)+(A3*B3)) - now, let's looks at each of the columns we're multiplying.
INT(24*$B:$B) is just Days, converted to Hours, and trim off the decimal part (minutes/seconds) - fairly simple.
--($A:$A=D2) first checks if the value in column A is the same as in D2 and gives TRUE or FALSE. The -- then converts this into 1 or 0, which we multiply by the hours before adding them all up.
Easiest way would be to Round Down the data using ROUND function, and then use SUM function to add the rounding data up.
You can find a simple example below.
I am trying to use Microsoft Excel to format a large set of data. The data is all in decimal format and the results are paired so that we have 2 values per record. The first value is a Mass in grams, and the second value is the Uncertainty of that mass also in grams.
For example:
SampleName = S1, Mass(g) = 28.695, Uncertainty(g) = 1.601133
What I need to do is have the "Uncertainty" update to 2 significant figures, then depending on the value returned, have the "Mass" update to match the number of decimal places (or whole numbers) that the "Uncertainty" now is.
e.g.
if Uncertainty became 1.6, then Mass should become 28.6
if Uncertainty became 1.61, then Mass should become 28.69
if Uncertainty became 2, then Mass should become 29
I have attempted to use the ROUND function on the "Uncertainty" cell but then I don't know how to make the "Mass" cell update accordingly.
I have tried the following 2 ROUND formulas, which both seem to work for rounding the "Uncertainty":
=ROUND(A1,2-INT(LOG(ABS(A1))))
=ROUND(A1, 2)
Any help would be much appreciated.
This formula counts the number of decimal places in a given cell:
=LEN(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(".",A1)))
So you could use this in your Round formula where you specify the number of decimals:
=ROUND(A1, LEN(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(".",A1))))
To round to 2 significant figures you can use something like this:
=ROUND(uncertainty,2-(1+INT(LOG10(ABS(number)))))
To round (eg) B2 based on number of decimals in (eg) D2:
=ROUND(B2,IFERROR(LEN(RIGHT(D2,LEN(D2)-FIND(".",D2))),0))
I am very new to Excel and I have a problem with a simple multiplication (I know, it is depressing but I'm stuck).
I have to multiply the numeric content of 2 cells (these value are calculated using 2 different formulas).
The problem is that it seems that these 2 cells contain numeric values having different format and I obtain a strange result.
Infact I have:
1) The K3 cell containing this value: 0,0783272400
2) The K6 cell containing this value: 728.454911165
In another cell I simply do:
=K3*K6
but now I am obtaining this nonsense value: 57.057.862.655,9996000000
I think that the problem could be related to the fact that the first one use the , do divide integer section and decimal section, and in the other one I am using . to divider the integer section and decimal section.
How can I correctly handle this situation?
Format both values as Currency in Excel and forget about the issue.
You are getting it, because the floating point values are not represented differently in many programming languages. In Excel probably the best way to make sure you do not give strange values is to format as Currency.
Or in VBA to use the CDec and to convert to decimal.
Is floating point math broken?
Excel is treating 0,0783272400 as something less than one tenth and 728.454911165 as getting on for one thousand billion. The result is formatted with . for thousands separator and , for decimal separator - and is not nonsensical (though the choice of formatting is).
I have a column of data with numbers stored in text.
The numbers look like this: 735999114002665788
If I select any cell in this column and refer to it with the function =value(), the number shows up as 735999114002665000.
As you can see the last three digits are 0. This happens all the time with numbers this long - but NOT with numbers containing less digits.
Am I trying to convert a number that's too large or what's up? Please help! I've tried every form of text-to-number method with identical results :(
Excel's number precision is 15 digits, which is why you're losing the last three digits when converting your 18 character string
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/excel-specifications-and-limits-1672b34d-7043-467e-8e27-269d656771c3#ID0EBABAAA=Excel_2016-2013
Excel only allows a maximum of 15 digits of precision for each number in a cell. The reason why this number:
735999114002665788
becomes this:
735999114002665000
is because Excel is choosing to retain the 15 most significant digits in the number. This means that the ones, tens, and thousands digits are being tossed out.
By the way, this question has been asked before on SuperUser, and you can read about it here:

I'm creating a simple spreadsheet to calculate some betting odds and keeping track of my wins/losses
when I put fractional odds in one column Excel converts some of them to whole numbers (i.e. the ones that are 1/1, 2/1, etc where it does not do it for odds like 4/11, 7/2, etc.
Is there a way of turning this off?
Please note that some of the top heave fractions (11/2, 11/10 etc) get put into whole numbers such as 5 1/2 etc! And I do not want this to occur either
I've tried the Custom formatting of the cells but all of the denominators will inevitably be different, so having something like ??/28 won't work for me
EDIT:
This was solved using the custom format ??/?? and simply removeing the # that was at the front of the custom cell format dialog box
You simply need to change the cell format; you want to use ???/???. This will make Excel represent any decimal number to the closest fraction approximation it can find using the specified numerator and denominator significant digits (number of ? in the format string)
If the cell input is directly a fraction, it will reduce it if possible but always keeping the fraction format.
Examples:
= .10 will be converted to 1/10
= 0.1231 will be converted to 81/658 (supossing ???/??? format is used).
= 10/100 will be converted to 1/10
= 11/12 will remain as 11/12 as no reduction is possible.
= 1/1 will remain as 1/1
etc.
The behavior you are describing is becuase you are using one of Excel's default fraction formats which are all similar to # ???/??? (take note of the leading #). This format will reduce integral values to the non fractional part.
You could use text format for the cells with the odds, and then the VALUE function in any calculations you need to do with them
