Good morning.

I have a question on a formula.

In column G, I have a formula (thanks Sunny) that pulls in the CPM from a table below. Example:

=INDEX($E$51:$J$74,MATCH(F8,$E$51:$E$74,0),MATCH(E8,$E$51:$J$51,0))

In column M, I have the following formula: It takes the total ordered times the CPM and divides by 1000.

=ROUND(L7*G7,2)/1000

24.65 x 603 / 1000 = 14.863, So I need the dollar amount to be $14.86

The total that the formula is calculating is $14.87.  I have tried change from Round, to Roundup and Rounddown, but nothing is working.  I then change the CPM from the formula to hard coding in the CPM.  This worked.  Is there a way to make the formula work but pull in the correct decimal?

I have put in an example of some lines are pulling in the correct decimal others are not.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Amy

As far as I can see it's maybe best to round also the complete formula in column G to 2 decimals.

Now G6 is giving $ 24,65404 etc. and it calculates with that amount in column M.

Of you round to two decimals in G6 it becomes $ 24,65000 and the outcome in M is correct.

Same for G9 and M9, so I think that helps. But maybe somewhere on the way you still got a rounding problem. 

Anyway less than now when you change the G formula!

Frans, 

I figured out my issue. The pricing table below that is pulling in the CPM price has decimals ranging from 0 to 10 places.  Once I fixed all of the down to two decimal places, it fixed the issue.  Thanks for all your help.
