For example: I want column A to read "5 gal" and column B read "$25.00" and column C=A/B. But when I enter that formula it won't compute beause in column A i have "gal". I know an easy solution would be to add another column to read the "gal" but I would really like to find a way to only have the 3 columns. Any help please would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! An easy way is to use column headers, where A1=Amount(gal) , B1=Price, and C1=$/gal. And perhaps your formula should be C=B/A unless you really do want gallons per dollar. Then you only have to enter the number in the rest of the column and save typing four characters -- the space is also a character -- for each entry. Otherwise your formula for column C is going to get a lot more complicated. |
