I use format  Number  2 decimal places  amp  tick   use 1000 separater    then go to  File    Options    Advanced   scroll down to  When calculating this workbook  and tick  set precision as displayed   You get an error message about losing accuracy  that s good as it means it is rounding to 2 decimal places  So much better than bothering with adding a needless ROUND function
