= SUMMARY =

To round a number to the nearest cent value in a Microsoft Works spreadsheet, the following formula can be used:

=INT(Value*100)/100

For example:

When charging sales tax on goods, fractions of a cent are rounded down to the nearest cent. If 7.25 percent sales tax is charged on 15.00, multiplying these two numbers together yields 1.0875, which would round to 1.09. To have Works round this to 1.08, the following formula would be used:

=INT(15.0725100)/100

The returned value will be 1.08.
