Hi Trizi.

What happens to $233.99?

In the UK, if that is income, it rounds down.  if expense it rounds up.

What happens if you have one "category" income of 123.90 and one of 345.99.  
do your tax authorities want a total income figure of 468,  469 or 470.  that 
sort of cumulative rounding can become significant depending when you round.

And it probably varies from country to country.  Personally, I work in 
pounds/pence and just format off the pence right at the end. YMMV, of course.

Oh, (this is just my 0.02.) this is a thread from nearly 2 years ago.  maybe 
it would have been better to start a new thread and refer back to the 
historical one? 


HTH,
