my results. But I have found a problem with the information presented in the
data window.

displayed as 9,999,999.9. (1 digit after the decimal). So any calculation
with a result greater than 10,000,000 does not display the leading digit.
This makes it very hard sometimes to determine what the actual figure is!

Help and in the manual, but cannot find anything about this subject.
Try the Int() function to convert to whole numbers. Prec() could also be
used but this can be subject to single digit precision errors and you end up
no better off than when you started. Also be wary of Ceiling(), Floor() and
Round() in this regard. Int() is definitely the most reliable in handling
unwanted fractions in my experience.
