I have an EXCEL worksheet where I am selecting specific columns
to process in my program.
One of these columns is a numeric column defined with 2 decimal

position.

On the worksheet, I have the following values:
1.38-
20.97-
11.44-
0.84
0.80

In my program, I am receiving the following values:
1.37-
20.96-
11.44-
0.83
0.79

Excel by default uses a number format which lacks a precise
representation for some rare, exotic <sarcasm /> money amounts
such as a dime. I think if your round your result to the nearest
cent you will see better results.

Cheers,
Terry.
