how would I write a formula for cell B8 that divides cell D5 by the sum of
cells N10 through N13, write the formula so that when it is copied to cell C8 and D8, cell D5 remains absolute? |

The purpose of home work is to learn not to provide the answer. Tell us what you have tried, what worked and what did not work. Tell us where you have looked and what you do or do not understand. Show us some effort and we will direct you in this LEARNING process. Help us help you!

I also agree with the guys here. I posted my response before Id seen that it was definitely homework. Whilst Im glad I helped I would definitely recommend that rather than just followin g the instructions I posted you try and understand WHY it works.

In B8 type:- =$D$5/SUM(N10:N13) The $ (Dollar) symbol before the column and row parts of the cell reference D5 ensure that that remains absolute as you want. N10:N13 will remain relative. Hope this helps, Matt Richardson http://teachr.blogspot.com |
