I may have read you post incorrectly. To calculate the tax part of a fross
amount try this

=A1-(A1/117.5*100)

Did you mean, for instance:

A1 has a value of 1500 and you want to calculate 17.5% tax on 1500. If yes,
then formula will be:

A1 B1 C1
Sales Sales Tax Net Amount
1500 =A1/100*17.5 =A1-B1
1500 262.5 1237.5

Hope this is what you wanted, let us know!
