Google Sheets - Why are there garbage digits in MOD(??)&"*"?
tl;dr - why am I getting these weird remainders in MOD()&"*", which are not showing up in MOD()?
On behalf of an old-timey cheesemonger acquaintance of mine, I'm trying to convert a value from ounces to pounds and ounces. When I build a conversion formula, though, I am sometimes getting some weird remainders.
- Column D is the source number of ounces.
- Column E is just
=MOD(D?) - Column F is
=MOD(D?)&" oz.", but the content doesn't matter - any concatenation of that cell blows out a weird remainder...but only for some values?
Why is this happening? Is there a single-column method to fix this?
Solution
I feel like I'm committing some kind of sin, but this seems to be gouda enough.
Column E now runs:
=INT(D4/16)&" lb. "&ROUND(MOD(D4,16),1)&" oz."
