You could use the ROUND function to round the results to 2 decimal places. You could also just format the cells to 2 decimal places. If you were using the ROUND function you would include the formula you had inside it, and specify two. So say you were doing a AVERAGE function and wanted the result rounded to two decimal places:
=ROUND(AVERAGE(A2:A40),2)
You could also use TRUNC which truncates the value to a certain amount of decimal places, but does not round the value:
=TRUNC(AVERAGE(A2:A40),2)
The two above functions may show slightly different values, because ROUND rounds a value, but TRUNC doesn't.
To convert from decimal to octal, use the function DEC2OCT.EXAMPLE: =DEC2OCT(58, 3) Converts decimal 58 to octal (072).
If the lbf value was in cell B2, then the formula to convert it to Newton would be:=B2*4.44822162
There is a function called ROUND which you can use to round to zero decimal places. If your number was in cell A2, the formula would be:=ROUND(A2,0)
To convert 'D' degrees into a percent slope, you could use the Excel formula:= 100 * TAN ( D / 57.296 )
An underlying formula in Excel is used in a spreadsheet to do something different than the formula does. An underlying formula can be used to remove values or display numbers.
In Excel it is the "code" function. For example, Code("A") = 65
In Excel, a number can contain be characters
Excel (not an XP utility but part of the MS Office suite that runs on XP) can convert these.The Calculator (calc.exe) that ships with XP is capable of converting between Decimal, Binary, Octal and Hexadecimal.
Since you put this question in the Excel category, I will respond with an Excel formula. Assuming you put your numbers in cells A1 through A100, the formula would be:=SUM(A1:A100)/100
The correct answer is NUMBERS.
Excel STILL does not have a specific significant figures function and will only accept 15 significant figures when entering numbers. Quite simply you have to write your own formula and have to do workarounds when entering longer numbers.
Select cell formatting and change to text. After than, Excel will treat the numbers in a cell the same as any other text characters. Also, you will not be able to use that cell in a formula, because the formula will not recognize the characters as numbers.
