Hi @CarlosMartin-1797,
Your problem may related to the floating-point arithmetic in Excel, I suggest you refer to this support article:

As the article said:
1. You can use the ROUND function to correct the result.
2. You can go to File- Options- Advanced- When calculating this workbook- check the option “Set precision as displayed
