Have you looked at what MOD does? [If not, please take the trouble to look
it up in Excel help, and/or just try it.] In what way does it not do what you want? -- David Biddulph dougsan wrote: "Jarek Kujawa" wrote: try: =MOD(A1,360) HIH On 20 Lut, 11:58, dougsan wrote: I am back!!!!!

What i am trying to do is set up a spred sheet that would allow me to apply magnetic varation to a true course. the varation coud be east or west in which case i would eather + or - the ajustment. for example if true course was 005° Mag VAR 12°W i would have to -12° to give me a mag heading of 364° and if True course 356° Var 12°E i would need to +12° mag heading 008° I hope that gives you a clearer understanding of what i am trying to do.

I don't know how you get your 364 instead of 353, but if you are still
asking how to deal with wrapping round at 360, you were given the answer of using the MOD function. -- David Biddulph "dougsan" wrote in message ...
