You are high in the list of nominations for the most unhelpful response in
the group this month. Saying merely "This does not give the correct answer"
does not give the contributors to the group (who are very willing to help) a
great deal of chance to help you, particularly when the answer you were
given is the correct answer to the question you asked.

If you really do want help, you'll have to give more information, as there
is a limit to the clairvoyant powers of even the brightest experts in the
group. Why not start with things like:
What values you have in B1 and in C1, what value you got from the suggested
formula in D1, and what answer you expected?

One specific question is about column C. Are you sure that it contains "how
many hours they worked on that particular job"? If it is not a number of
hours, but a time in Excel format, then you will need a factor of 24 in your
formula.

Hi

Select cell D1.

Type:

=B1/C1

and hit the Enter button of your keyboard. Does the result make sense
now?

(of course, if your numbers are not in row 1 but elsewhere, then you
should
change the 1's in my formula.)
