MS Access and number of decimal places returned in calculations -
this not formatting question.
i have found doing simple division in ms access (2010) query not return expected number of digits. simplest: (3.1 + 3.1)/2 = 3.1
but ms access returns 3.09999990463257
yes, can round and/or format result show specified number of decimal places. also, in example above, rounding give me true value of 3.1; however, question "why ms access this?" rather how fix it.
both
select (3.1+3.1)/2 result tblfoo
in query, and
debug.print (3.1 + 3.1)/2
in vba return 3.1
me.
are summing values of data type single? have limited precision.
