Why is this formula not working even when excel corrects it?

What do you mean by "not working"?
Returns an error? If so, what is the error?
Causes Excel to crash?
Returns an incorrect result? If so, what is the original data and what is the returned result? (This might be more easily transferred by posting a workbook on some accessible site (e.g. Skydrive) and posting a link here.

Thank you for responding Ron.
The total done on a calculator is the correct results as I showed in the math example, but the results shown in the target cell is a different total.
If I move the parentheses to change the way it groups the answer is still wrong.
I'm new to Skydrive and would be glad to get the workbook to you if I new how..
Thanks, Mark

For SkyDrive, see instructions he http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/s...rive-help=tab1
You do need a Microsoft or Hotmail account to use it.


There are other sharing sites, also.

Subject: Are the parentheses the problem?

Yes, that is the problem, for the most part. Try the following:

=(U14
-(SUMIF('Cost Plus Invoice'!O8:O1510,"t",'Cost Plus Invoice'!T8:T1320)
+SUMIF('Cost Plus Invoice'!O8:O1510,"m",'Cost Plus Invoice'!T8:T1320)
+SUMIF('Cost Plus Invoice'!O8:O1510,"r",'Cost Plus Invoice'!T8:T1320)
+SUMIF('Cost Entry'!O7:O1320,"t",'Cost Entry'!T7:T1320)
+SUMIF('Cost Entry'!O7:O1320,"m",'Cost Entry'!T7:T1320)
+SUMIF('Cost Entry'!O7:O1320,"r",'Cost Entry'!T7:T1320)
+Phases!L29))*0.55+'Profit & Loss'!U15

Even simpler:

=(U14
-SUMIF('Cost Plus Invoice'!O8:O1510,"t",'Cost Plus Invoice'!T8:T1320)
-SUMIF('Cost Plus Invoice'!O8:O1510,"m",'Cost Plus Invoice'!T8:T1320)
-SUMIF('Cost Plus Invoice'!O8:O1510,"r",'Cost Plus Invoice'!T8:T1320)
-SUMIF('Cost Entry'!O7:O1320,"t",'Cost Entry'!T7:T1320)
-SUMIF('Cost Entry'!O7:O1320,"m",'Cost Entry'!T7:T1320)
-SUMIF('Cost Entry'!O7:O1320,"r",'Cost Entry'!T7:T1320)
-Phases!L29)*0.55+'Profit & Loss'!U15

However, multiplying dollar-and-cents by 0.55 is risky: often, the result
is not exact to the penny. For example, 1.23*0.55 is 0.6765. If you
display with only 2 decimal places, it will __look__ like 0.68. But it is
still __really__ 0.6765. That might adversely affect dependent calculation
elsewhere.

So the best formula is:

=ROUND((U14
-SUMIF('Cost Plus Invoice'!O8:O1510,"t",'Cost Plus Invoice'!T8:T1320)
-SUMIF('Cost Plus Invoice'!O8:O1510,"m",'Cost Plus Invoice'!T8:T1320)
-SUMIF('Cost Plus Invoice'!O8:O1510,"r",'Cost Plus Invoice'!T8:T1320)
-SUMIF('Cost Entry'!O7:O1320,"t",'Cost Entry'!T7:T1320)
-SUMIF('Cost Entry'!O7:O1320,"m",'Cost Entry'!T7:T1320)
-SUMIF('Cost Entry'!O7:O1320,"r",'Cost Entry'!T7:T1320)
-Phases!L29)*0.55+'Profit & Loss'!U15, 2)

Caveat: That assumes that each of those cells are constants or their
formulas have been rounded to 2 decimal places.

skydrive.live.com is the worst file-sharing website, IMHO. Its only benefit
for users of other Microsoft websites (e.g. hotmail.com) is: they can use
the same login for Skydrive.

Box.Net: http://www.box.net/files
MediaFi http://www.mediafire.com
FileFactory: http://www.filefactory.com
FileSavr: http://www.filesavr.com
RapidSha http://www.rapidshare.com

I use box.net. It is easy to set up a free login. After you upload the
file (straight-forward), click on Share, copy the URL ("link to this file"),
and paste it into a posting here.

Caveat: box.net has made a change recently that I do not like: we can no
longer disable preview when someone tries to download the file. Preview
does not work in some cases because it does not support some Excel features.
Just ignore any preview errors and download the file.

Since I have a MS account, for accessing their various groups, that's not a problem (I never use hotmail).
Two other uses that are good for me is that the contents can be synchronized across various computers/devices;
and it appears as a folder in Windows Explorer, enabling easy transfer of files to/from.
