Hi Janet,

Check this:

? round( 35*943*.00100,2)
? ROUND(0.35000000 * 943.0 *.100 ,2) 

Amazing :))))

>>When the following numbers are multiplied then rounded to two decimals the result is 33.00 instead of the expected 33.01.

>> .35000000 * 943.0 *.100 = 33.005000000000
>> ROUND(.35000000 * 943.0 *.100 ,2) = 33.00
>>
>> ROUND(33.005000000000,2) = 33.01

>>The numbers are straight from the command window - not from a table. Is this normal rounding behavior that I don't know about?
