No need for SUM, nothing is being summed so it is superfluous.

I came into work this morning very anxious to try the formula and it
worked
great. I put it in the cell that I wanted the answer in like this
=sum(k5*1.5) and it worked great. Thank you so much for your help.

I am trying to get an overtime rate to automatically calculate in an
excel
spreadsheet. I want to take the hourly rate in one cell divide it by
2
and
then add the hourly rate to the rate I got by dividing and put that
total
into another cell. Example: Cell G5 is hourly rate of $10.00. I
want to
divide that by 2 which will give me $5.00. I want to add the $10.00 &
$5.00
together giving me $15.00 and I want that to go into say cell K5.
Does
anyone know how to do this?
