Treasure Companion Table 9.1 Inconsistent rounding
« on: July 26, 2014, 02:34:04 PM »
I have added the armor table to a spreadsheet to calculate the bonuses but I ran into a problem with the rounding. I think there's a problem on Table 9.1 (Pg 49)

Assuming superior design and 0.85 weight I get the following results

AT 18  -9 / -85 / -0 / -9
AT 19  -21 / -119 / -17 / -17
AT 20  -30 / -132 / -26 / -26

Table 9.1 (Pg 49)
AT 18  -8 / -85 / -0 / -8
AT 19  -21 / -119 / -17 / -17
AT 20  -30 / -131 / -25 / -25

Doesn't matter how I setup the rounding in the spreadsheet (regular, up or down), I never get the same results. Some ATs are rounded down, some are rounded up. It's just not consistent.

Thanks

Negative numbers rounded down, positive numbers rounded up?

Aren't they all negative number?  :o

I kinda trust Excel when it comes to rounding and all the numbers are in fact negative (penalties). ;)

Here's the formula: =IF(ROUND(((C2+CraftsBonus)*WeightFactor),0)>0,0,ROUND(((C2+CraftsBonus)*WeightFactor),0))
C2 is the cell that holds the minimum maneuver penalty (for AT 1 in the case).
