    Question Linked Excel Table Showing Wrong Value

    I found this problem with one of my linked excel tables. The value in the table is 1.4707 in excel, but when I look at the table in Access 2010 it show as 1.4706. I don't think this is a rounding issue because the value was entered as 1.4707 and doesn't come from a formula.



    This happens whether the table is linked or imported.


    Any ideas as to what might cause this and how to fix it?


    Thanks,


    Luke

    I already found the issue. I had the cell properties in excel set as "currency." I changed it to "general" and the problem is fixed.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
