Dear Sir,
Tried some of the commands ?int(460/5) , ?int(459/5) , ?int(461/5)
but all the answers received were on expected lines.
Screen shot attached.
You may be using x = int(y/5)
where y has been assigned value of 460 from some calculations.
try displaying the value of y before the int() command.
it could be having values like 459.9995

This could be the source of error.
such errors are very common in excel.
Regards
Akshat
