Hi Dermot,

Well, for one thing, you don't need to use =SUM ....that only adds
things up. Assuming the room rate is in cell D4, and the number of
nights is in cell F4 (or the other way round), the formula for the
total is just =D4*F4.

To give them a 10% discount, try =(D4*F4)*90%

Hope that helps

Phil
