How do I correct this calculation?
=(SUM(B2:E2)-G2)/G2
=((7.58)-10.29)/10.29
(7.58)-10.29/10.29 G2/G2 = 10.29/10.29 = 1; 7.58 -1 = 6.58
The division takes precedence over the subtraction hence 10.29/10.29 ( = 1 )
so put the additional set of brackets in.

My formula is SUM(B2:E2)-G2/G2 ... numbers are (7.58)-10.29/10.29.
Correct answer is - 0.2633 but Excel keeps inserting 6.57 as the answer.
Please help ... trying to calculate Total Cost on ALOT of spreadsheets.
