I think I found a fix for this. When a numeric cell is read, it is read as Float. The cell is a dollar amount. When you convert the float to packed, I added another decimal position in the %DEC function, and used an eval(h) to populate the float amount to the dollar amount, and the amounts matched.

Thank you to all who responded.
