All,
I would regard this result as getting what I had asked for. A calculation
using the result displayed without rounding would use the non-rounded figure
as you would require.
Regards,
Ian Fletcher.

Subject: [mathcad] Rounding up/down error
[Edit] and now with attachment... [Edit]
Hello list,
I have been using a calculation with a number of 0.04425 N/mm^2. However, I
noticed a strange behavior when I modified the properties of a result to
show me 4 digits. Normally, it would then show me 0.0443 as a 5 always
rounds up. However, as you can see in the attached mathcad-sheet, MathCad
decides that it does not want to show 0.0443, but 0.0442. I have been
playing with a few other numbers, but this is the only one I have found. Can
someone tell me, whether this is a bug in MathCad, or that there is an
option included in MathCad that makes sure that some results are rounded to
a different value? (Or perhaps someone else has encountered the same
rounding error somewhere else...)
Regards,
Sander Lablans
