New dude in town and don't know how to create the following complex (at least
to me) formula to calculate LV MASS in excel . . .

lv mass = 1.05 x {(b+t)^[2/3 (a+1) + d ~ d3 / 3(a+t)^] - b^[2/3 a+d ~ d3 /
3a^]}

note that d3 is d cubed

any assistance is most helpful ... under pressure to solve this ASAP

Someone pls show me the way . . .

To put this into Excel, you need to tell us:
-- What do the tildes (~) mean?
-- Does ^ mean "to the power of" (and if so, why not use it for d^3)?
-- What does ^ mean when it's at then end of a calculation (as in the two
^]s)
-- Where are the variables b, t, a, d and b? Cells a1 to a5 or somewhere
else?

Regards,
Fred.

Thanks for taking an interest in my dilema Fred ...
This is a two part problem where my associate is working on the first formula
... thos results then feed into mine . . .
can you contact me via my email then I can show
you the actual formula as I cannot (or do not know how to) send attachment
image on this board
thnks much lad

OK ... I figured out a way to get my problem across ... I have added a
diagram of the formula and it's MUCH clearer than the way I defined it

For anyone to do that, you'd have to post a link
