    This is the kind of shit that makes spacecraft miss entire planets...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    Okay, here is my best guess.

    The figure 545.19 x .60 = 327.114
    and 460.19 x .60 = 276.114

    In the second column, each of the results is rounded down to display the correct number to the hundredth column. When you add those numbers together, it must change that thousandths 4 to an 8 and then round up. That also explains why if you sum the numbers up by week (redlines) all the totals add correctly. Then if you just sum up the totals, you get the one cent difference. This was a healthy exercise, thanks for the participation.

    ETA: That's definitely it, because if you change the columns to just "Number" instead of "Currency" then the total comes to 5,069.028.
    Crazy that after years and years of using Excel (and the like) to track things, this is the first time I've ever hit the magic combination to throw a number off.

    Yep. Computers are never wrong - like my wife. They just do EXACTLY what we tell them to do - unlike my wife. If something is wrong it's always something a person did (or didn't do).

    Tell that to Google maps when it refused to send me on the route I chose today about 6 times in a row! I think it knew I was questioning the legitimacy of Google apps.

    LOL - Exactly. Not sure if you were supporting my point or arguing it, but even in fiction: In 2010 we find out that HAL's crisis was caused by a programming contradiction - something a person did. <g>

    I read that series earlier this year and it was pretty great.
