Need Help in Creating Excel Formula
I need step by step instructions on how to build a formula. Example:
Column "C", row 3.1 has $100 in it and I want a tax amount of .05 percent of that $100 (which would be $5) to appear in Column "D" of that same line. I've gone bonkers in trying to get this done. ANY NICE PERSON OUT THERE WILLING TO HELP? |

One way:
With $100 in cell C3, in cell D3 enter = C3 * 5% (since $5 is 5% of $100, not 0.05%). Format cell D3 as currency.

Thanks for the help....I tried =C3*5% and it worked but when I made an entry of $50.00 in the next row (which would be row 4) the formula did not calculate an amount in column "D". IS THERE A WAY TO SAVE THE FORMULA IN COLUMN "C" SO IT WILL CALCULATE THE 5% WHEN AN ENTRY IS MADE IN THE NEXT LINE (WHICH WOULD BE LINE 4)? In other words, my page has 15 rows in it and every time I enter an amount in column "C" in each of these 15 rows, I would want the formula of 5% to appear in column "D". -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |

Just copy the formula down from C3 as far as you wish.
Grab the fill handle of C3 and drag down. The fill handle is the little blank lump you see at bottom right corner of the cell. Left-click on that and drag. In case there are no numbers yet in column C enter this in D3. =IF(ISNUMBER(C3),C3*5%,"") You are still stating that .05 percent of 100 is 5 which is incorrect. 5% of 100 is 5 On Sun, 29 Jul 2007 02:19:49 GMT, "poppiekat via OfficeKB.com" <u36195@uwe wrote: JE McGimpsey wrote: One way: With $100 in cell C3, in cell D3 enter = C3 * 5% (since $5 is 5% of $100, not 0.05%).

I did as instructed and it worked. Thanks 1,000,000!!! One thing I noticed was that the $ sign and .00 cents do not show in column "C" when I type in 55. 00. However the cents .00 do show in column "D". How do I get the $ sign and the .00 cents to appear in column "C" when I type it? -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...excel/200707/1 |

One way:
Select all of column C (or the cells in Column C where you're going to be inputting your data). Format it the way you want with $ and fixed decimal places.

Please ignore my ignorance.....I see now that you said "format" and I was so frustrated after a long day of dealing with things that I could only read the word "formula". I formated the cells with currency $ and two digits .00 and everything is working just fine. Your're the greatest !!! -- Message posted via http://www.officekb.com |
