e: [Year 12 IPM] Help Request from Excel Experts please.

Keith
A belated reply to your query.  The simple way is to use round() and then
with the result use copy and paste/special(values) to make the rounded
result independent of the original figure.  I have attached an excel file in
which I have the above working in macros.
Regards John
