比较VBA精度问题的双重性

标签: excel vba comparison double

我无法在Excel VBA中比较2个双倍

假设我有以下代码

Dim a as double
Dim b as double
a = 0.15
b = 0.01

在对b进行一些操作之后,b现在等于0.6

然而,与双数据类型相关的不精确让我感到头痛,因为

if a = b then
 //this will never trigger
end if

你知道如何删除双重类型的尾随不精确吗?

您无法比较浮点值是否相等。有关如何处理内在错误的讨论,请参阅有关“Comparing floating point numbers”的文章。

除非你事先知道浮点数的绝对范围是什么,否则它并不像比较恒定的误差范围那么简单。

如果你打算这样做......

Dim a as double  
 Dim b as double  
 a = 0.15  
 b = 0.01

你需要在你的IF语句中添加圆函数,就像这样......

  If Round(a,2) = Round(b,2) Then   
     //code inside block will now trigger.
  End If

比较平等的双打是不明智的。

某些十进制值映射到多个浮点表示。因此,一个0.6并不总是等于另一个0.6。

如果我们从另一个中减去一个,我们可能得到类似于0.00000000051的东西。

我们现在可以将等式定义为具有小于某个误差范围的差异。

这是我写的一个简单的函数:

Function dblCheckTheSame(number1 As Double, number2 As Double, Optional Digits As Integer = 12) As Boolean

If (number1 - number2) ^ 2 < (10 ^ -Digits) ^ 2 Then
    dblCheckTheSame = True
Else
    dblCheckTheSame = False
End If

End Function

用以下方式调用:

MsgBox dblCheckTheSame(1.2345, 1.23456789)
MsgBox dblCheckTheSame(1.2345, 1.23456789, 4)
MsgBox dblCheckTheSame(1.2345678900001, 1.2345678900002)
MsgBox dblCheckTheSame(1.2345678900001, 1.2345678900002, 14)

正如已经指出的那样,许多十进制数不能精确地表示为传统的浮点类型。根据问题空间的性质,最好使用十进制VBA类型,它可以表示十进制数字(基数为10),具有完美的精度,直到某个小数点。这通常用于代表货币,例如通常需要2位十进制精度。

Dim a as Decimal
Dim b as Decimal
a = 0.15
b = 0.01

答案 5 :(得分:1)

货币数据类型可能是一个不错的选择。它处理相对较大的数字,具有固定的四位精度。

答案 6 :(得分:0)

一轮工作? 不知道这是否可以解决所有情况,但是在比较VBA中的舍入double值时遇到了问题。当我将四舍五入后的数字进行比较时,VBA会在if-then compare语句中触发false。 我的解决方法是运行两次转换,首先将double转换为string,然后将string转换为double,然后进行比较。

模拟示例 我没有记录导致这篇文章中提到的错误的确切数字,并且我的示例中的金额当前未触发问题,仅用于表示问题的类型。

      Dim Num1 As Double

      Dim Num2 As Double

      Let Num1 = 123.123456789

      Let Num2 = 123.123467891

      Let Num1 = Round(Num1, 4) '123.1235


      Let Num2 = Round(Num2, 4) '123.1235

      If Num1 = Num2 Then

           MsgBox "Correct Match, " & Num1 & " does equal " & Num2
      Else
           MsgBox "Inccorrect Match, " & Num1 & " does not equal " & Num2
      End If

      'Here it would say that "Inccorrect Match, 123.1235 does not equal 123.1235."

 End Sub

如果可能,尝试使用单个值。 转换为Double值会产生随机错误。

Public Sub Test()
Dim D01 As Double
Dim D02 As Double
Dim S01 As Single
Dim S02 As Single
S01 = 45.678 / 12
S02 = 45.678
D01 = S01
D02 = S02
Debug.Print S01 * 12
Debug.Print S02
Debug.Print D01 * 12
Debug.Print D02
End Sub

    45,678 
    45,678 
    45,67799949646 
    45,6780014038086

迟到的答案,但我很惊讶还没有发布解决方案来解决(当前)接受的 answer 中链接的文章中概述的问题,即:

  • 舍入用绝对容差检查相等性(例如,如果舍入为 4d.p.,则为 0.0001 个单位),这在比较多个数量级的不同值时是垃圾(因此不仅仅是与 0 进行比较)
  • 当前的答案中没有提到与被比较的数字之一同时缩放的相对容差,但在非零比较中表现良好(但是,随着缩放比例在那时爆炸,与零相比会很糟糕)。< /li>

为了解决这个问题,我从 Python 中获得灵感:PEP 485 -- A Function for testing approximate equality 来实现以下内容(在标准模块中):

示例

IsClose 函数可用于检查绝对差异:

assert(IsClose(0, 0.0001233, absTol:= 0.001)) 'same to 3 d.p.?

...或相对差异:

assert(IsClose(1234.5, 1234.6, relTol:= 0.0001)) '0.01% relative difference?

...但通常您指定两者,如果满足任一容差,则数字被认为是接近的。它对仅接近自身的 +-infinity 和几乎为零的 NaN 进行了特殊处理(请参阅 PEP 以获得完整的理由,或 my Code Review post 我希望对此代码提供反馈:)
