Hi All,
As a basic user, I'm having what I hope is an easy to answer issue, so apologies if it's been asked before.

I have a spreadsheet which records scores for a charity quiz I run twice a year.
The scores are entered into Sheet A (which is organised alphabetically by team name for ease of use) and calculated in a column.
I have these final calculated scores linked to a column on Sheet B, so I can arrange them in descending order.
The top 5 scores from the pivot table are then linked to Sheet C, which I use to link to a PowerPoint presentation for displaying the scores via a projector.

My issue is that Sheet A could display the following numbers:
117
111
108.5
106.5
104

Sheet B's pivot table will display the following numbers:
117
111
108.5
106.5
104

But Sheet C displays the following numbers:
117
111
109
107
104

It appears that sheet C is rounding the numbers up, even though all cells on all sheets are set to General format.

I would like to have Sheet C display the numbers exactly the same as Sheet B, which it is linked to.

Any suggestions please?
Many thanks
Phil

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
Did you try Format/Format Cells.../Number and select number of decimal digits to display?
