This devides the value in D104 by the value in F104. The $ makes the column
reference of F104 a constant. That means if you copy the formula to another column, the "F" column reference will remain the same. HTH, Paul "Excel ??" <Excel wrote in message ... can any one tell me what is this formula =d104/$f104 from excel? |

It divides the value in D104 by that in F104 and gives the same result as
=D104/F104 But if you copy this to a cell to the left (ie if formula is in P1 and you copy it to Q1) your formula becomes =E104/$F104; note the D changes but the F does not. You might see formulas like =D104/$F$104 with a $ on both he column and the row part. Such a formula leave F and 104 unchanged when copied.
