Default Question on forumla

Hi Pete,

Thank you for your reply. I tried that and when I change the custom to
General and duplicated the same information on two rows, on the bottom it is
suppose to sum the column but it doesn't calculate it. If the bottom cell is
Sum e7:e20 and my info is in cell e7 and e8 it still comes up blank.

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong?

Thanks!!

With that custom format you are only displaying to 1 decimal place,
whereas the number is actually:

0.001346413

when formatted as General.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I have a spreadsheet with four columns:

Monthly Volume, Minutes per unit, Monthly Hours and Required FTE

If I enter 2 in Monthly Volume and 7 in minutes per unit; my monthly hours
comes out as .23 which is monthly volume*minutes per unit. However, my
Required FTE column is blank, it has the formula monthly hours/173.3 which
are the hours per month of work for an average 20 workday month.

Why is the Required FTE coming out blank? I have the field set to Custom
0,0) is this incorrect? Because people are not receiving full time for their
work.

Thanks!!
