to reduce by 25% just multiply it by 0.75 as follows:-
=IF(MAX($D7,$G7,$J7,$M7,$P7,$S7,$V7,$Y7,$AB7,,$AI7 ,$AL7,$AO7,$AR7,$AU7)-$E$3<0,0,MAX($D7,$G7,$J7,$M7,$P7,$S7,$V7,$Y7,
$AB7, , $AI7, $AL7, $AO7,$AR7,$AU7)-$E$3)*.75

This is from a spreadsheet passed over to me

=IF(MAX($D7,$G7,$J7,$M7,$P7,$S7,$V7,$Y7,$AB7,,$AI7 ,$AL7,$AO7,$AR7,$AU7)-$E$3<0,0,MAX($D7,$G7,$J7,$M7,$P7,$S7,$V7,$Y7,
$AB7, , $AI7, $AL7, $AO7,$AR7,$AU7)-$E$3)


If I wanted to take the value that the above formula comes up with and
reduce it...say 25 percent or 10 percent...what would I add to the formula
to
accomplish this? I'm a bit of a novice and this formula is beyond what
I've
worked with in the past. Thank you.
