We are using Scott Klement's software to read an Excel XLSX spreadsheet. When I bring up the spreadsheet in excel, a cell has a value of .07. However, when I read the cell with the software, it reads 7.0. Other rows in the spreadsheet (above and below this row) read the values correctly for this column.

Smells vaguely like a formatting issue. Are you sure the values aren't
the other way around? (It would be less surprising for Excel to show
you 7 while your program read 0.07.)

The next most likely thing would be a careless error in your RPG while
defining variables, or moving values around between variables.

Can you share the workbook? (Either on a file sharing site or as an
attachment in a private e-mail; it probably won't work as an
attachment to this mailing list.) I know information is often too
sensitive to share, but if you can, that would certainly make it
easier to diagnose.
