Difference in Excel calculation and Canvas App calculation

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi All,

 

I have a canvas app on which there are multiple calculations that happens on multiple text boxes.

I also have an excel sheet which I am using for referencing for the formulas.

 

My issue is the result of the calculation on the excel is different from the result of the calculation on the Canvas app.

The formulas on the excel sheet as well as on the Canvas app is same but the result is different.

 

Below is the screenshot of the excel formula as well as the result of it.

I am not understanding the why the result is different when the formula, inputs are exactly the same.

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Have you done the calculation independently to see which one is correct? Seems like rounding differences to me.

    I checked it and got to know that excel was calculating wrong values, so Canvas app calculation is correct.

     

    Thanks for the help
