2 dec. places becomes more than 2 dec. places!

[Asterix]

I declare variable X as single, populate it with a calculated (e.g.) 14.02.
I put it in a cell (the cell says 14.02).
I format the cell as "0.00" (the cell says 14.02).
Later, in another macro, I copy that cell value to another single variable, Y (according to the debugger, the variable says 14.02).
I create a new spreadsheet and format the numbers as "0.00"
I populate one of the cells I just formatted with the variable value, like this...

Worksheets("Overall standings").Cells(driver_row, event_column).Value = Round(score, 2)

The value in the cell now reads (e.g.) "14.01564333756".

I've tried using "round(variable, 2)" on both X and Y (even though I can see they're only 2 dec. places), still no joy.

Funny thing is, if I were to originally assign X a value of (e.g.) 16.5, I don't have the subsequent problem.

Anyone come across similar?

why not just use the value from the variable instead of using the round syntax? Is "score" a calculated value or something that is a product of some calculation?

...already tried both with and without the round syntax (sorry, I should've been clearer), same problem exists.

Score is the variable that picks up the 14.02 value from the originally populated cell.

Thanks for replying

declare the variable as Double instead of Single.

declare the variable as Double instead of Single.

thx...that worked (rapidly moving on to the next problem)
