hey,
one the numbers are as follows;

that is I9*J9*D7/365

formating should have nothing to do with it.
since you feel the formula isn't working, what are the numbers and what do

Hi
I suck at this so be patient1
I'm trying to calculate interest using the formula
balance*days-since-last-translation*interest rate/36 I9*J9 *D7/365
I think its not working because d7 is formatted as a percentage (2.8%).
how do I get it to work?
