Add a percentage
I'm new to excel and working on 2007. This I know will be an easy one for
someone out there. I have the figure 36977 and want to add 8% to it via a forumla. I've had a look about, but everything seems a tade more complex than what I'm looking for. Hope you can help, thanks. |

If the number is in A1, use the formula
=A1*1.08 "slavenp" wrote in message ... I'm new to excel and working on 2007. This I know will be an easy one for someone out there. I have the figure 36977 and want to add 8% to it via a forumla.

Add a percentage
=36977 * 1.08
Generally if you want to increase a number by a certain percentage multiply that number by the sum of 1 plus the percentage. The asterisk, * , is the symbol Excel uses for multiplication.
