Article ID: 139466 - Last Review: November 15, 2004 - Revision: 4.0 Works: Long Decimal Number Changes to Incorrect ValueThis article was previously published under Q139466 SYMPTOMS
The following decimal number produces an incorrect result when entered into
a Works spreadsheet or database:
1.40737488355328
The number produces 1.28 when entered into a Works 4.0, 4.5 and 4.5a
Spreadsheet or Database, and 0.64 when entered into a Works 3.0 Spreadsheet or Database. Multiples of the number produce multiples of the incorrect value, for example:
2 x 1.40737488355328 = 2.81474976710656
Works displays 2.56 in Works 4.0, 4.5 and 4.5a, and 1.28 in Works 3.0x.
