Column Total off by 0.01 in summary report

The total I am getting is 0.01 off and I kept seem to figure out what is causing it. I have been through the reports being pulled individually and cannot find this mysterious 0.01, although in a running total is does give 26.05 as it should to total to. What are things I should be looking that cause this?

  • change your decimal settings to 3 places instead of 2. that might help you find a couple outliers.
  • The issue is one of rounding on the display vs what is really in the fields.  The only sure way to prevent is to round the underlaying data to 2 places using the round function.

    Round([my numeric calculated field],0.01)
  • Ah yes, someone had inputted a third decimal place in an entry and it was rounding up
