Excel Tips -Small Numbers in Excel

Hi

I have a strange Excel problem. I am adding up six numbers: e.g. 0,3,-3,0,0,0

The sum of these numbers should be zero - but I am getting a small balance (to the 15th decimal place). All of the zero numbers are exactly zero, as when I add them separately, they add to zero. The other numbers offset each other exactly, as when I add the together in isolation, I get excatly zero.

Any ideas about where the error lies? Is this a quirk with Excel?

Thanks in advance!!

I'm using the formula =RANK(Number, Ref, Order) but excel does not seem to be able to distinguish between really small numbers. For example, 5.0x10^10 & 8.1x10^10 (5.0E10 & 8.1E10) are both given the same ranking.

I have tried both General, and Number format styles, and tried making sure all the values had the same, high number of decimal places, but it makes no difference.

Please help, thanks!

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know of a web site which offers Excel tips and tricks.
Is there a free book which I can download that will give me tips and tricks.
Thanking you in advance,

What is the easy way to create forms in different sheets.......

In Main Sheet (Sheet1) each row contains some informations about a particular item.
I want to create Forms in separate Sheets and datas for this Form 1 (Sheet2) should be datas of Row#1 of Sheet1 & datas for this Form 2 (Sheet2) should be datas of Row#2 of the Sheet1.......

Hello. I recorded the code below to convert pages of workbook to pdf. It works well on my computer but on a co-worker's computer the pdf produced has header and footer pictures shifted slightly down and to the right, showing small areas of white area on his pdf and I do not see this on my pdf produced.

-Any idea what might cause this situation?
-If I have pictures in the header and footer and the pictures are inserted from my desktop,
does this cause Excel issues with those headers/footers on another computer? Is a better
way to load and link the pictures somewhere in the Excel document?
-Is Excel not the best tool to convert to pdf? Would it be better to use Publisher
or even Powerpoint linked to Excel sheets? How about one of the many Excel to
PDF softwares out there?

Thank you.

Sub convpdf()
Sheets(Array("sheet1", "sheet2", "sheet3", "sheet4", "sheet5")).Select
Sheets("sheet1").Activate
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
"C:\Documents and Settings\myname\Desktop\pdf_file.pdf", Quality:= _
xlQualityHigh, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=True
End Sub

Hy guys,

I still work with excel 2007, so, can someone tell me please if the 2010 version shows the formula tips, when we are tipping a formula in the "name manager box", and in the "conditional formating box".(when you use a formula to do conditional formating), like they are shown when we tipe a formula in a spreadsheet cell??
I think that would be a great help

Hey,

Has anybody noticed that all the help sections of the date/time help in excel tips is missing any information that's normally there?

just thought I would mention it.
