(A1-B1-C1-D1), we get the same non-zero result as the expression A1-B1-C1-D1-0 because the "last subtraction" does not "result" in a value close to zero. What they really mean is: if the _last_ addition or subtraction is "close" to zero and of course, they neglect to define what "close" is.įor the expression A1-B1-C1-D1, the last subtraction is "close" to zero, to Excel "corrects" the value. Should an addition or subtraction operation result in a value at or very close to zero, Excel 97 and later will compensate for any error introduced as a result of converting an operand to and from binary. "Excel 97, however, introduced an optimization that attempts to correct for this problem.
