Then just =A1/425
That's it.

Thanks for the reply!
I don't need to add anything from the "table" I basically just need to
have
the user add the number into a cell and then have that number divided by
425
and simply show the result.
ex:
Insert load_______ <-The user would enter their number here
Square Inches of bearing required________ <- The total (the entered
number
divided by 425) would show up here.
That is really all I need it to do.
Thanks so much

By "chart", I assume you actually mean a "table of cells"---sort of like
a
multiplication table?
I think you'd have to do something like this, assuming you select that
table
of cells (and assuming that table of cells is 2 columns, first column is
value, 2nd is price) and hit Insert-Name-Define and call it MyTable.
Suppose the 6500 is in cell A1, you can type this into B1:
=vlookup(a1/425,MyTable,2)

I am greatly in need of assistance. I have made up a sheet with all of
the
information I need but I do not know how to get it to work.
What I need to do is have the user enter a specific number
representing
a
load in pounds (6500 for example) then I need to have that number
divided
by
another number (this will be 425 consistently). Then I need to have
the
answer displayed so the user can compare it to a chart on the sheet
and
match up the correct structural component needed.
I would certainly appreciate any help. I have very little knowledge of
Excel
so please make any responses dummy proof.
TIA
Joe
