weird rounding or calculation error for a simple formula
posted

I have a calculated column in a grid, the formula is simple: D = A - B  - C  

(D being the calculated column)

When the result should add up to zero, I get instead something like this: -2.8421709430404E-14

Is this a bug in the calc manager?

For example these numbers: 217.28 - 37.08 - 180.2 should return 0 but instead return the small scientific number above

EDIT: I am using version 2013.1

    Talal,

    I would have to know more about what you are doing to figure out what is causing this weird result that you are getting.  Take a look at the sample application that I have attached and see if I am doing something very different from what you are doing. 

    What is the DataType of the columns that you are working with?
