It is tiresome to fix these errors ... those are not errors

8,1 becomes 8,0999999999999996 ... probably not ... the cell value is probably 8,0999999999999996 and is being displayed as 8,1

| Apr 22 at 22:21 | comment | added | Mockman | Does this answer your question? Microsoft mail merge incorrectly formatting numbers | |
| Apr 22 at 22:19 | comment | added | Mockman | Have you done a search? And what did you attempt to do to solve the problem? | |
| Apr 22 at 20:11 | comment | added | cybernetic.nomad | Where are these numbers from? Are they the results of formulas. What is the formatting on these cells? Note that formatting numbers to display only one decimal value does not change the value in the cell, only what is displayed. Maybe convert the displayed value to text before doing the merge? | |
