Raise numbers in the same proportion..
Hello everyone, I am new on this board and in desperate need for help! I'll try to make myself as clear as possible, although I am sure you've all come across genuinely complicated problems. I have two numbers, let's say 157 and 348 that equal 505. I would like to raise 505 so that it equals 709. What formula coud I use to raise 157 and 348 in the exact same proportion so that they equal 709?  I really look forward to hear from any of you soon Bless y'll Pamela -- PaMeLa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PaMeLa's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31639 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=513311 |

Raise numbers in the same proportion..
You're dealing with ratios/percentages You raised 505 by 709/505*100% which is 140.396% So you want to raise the other numbers by that same %age Your formula is 157 * 140.396% which is 220.4218 and 348 * 140.396% which is 488.5782 220.4218 + 488.5782 = 709 -- Cutter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cutter's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=9848 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=513311 |

Build yourself a small table:
A B C 1 157.00 348.00 505.00 2 102.00 102.00 204.00 3 259.00 450.00 709.00 A1 = 157 B1 = 348 C1 = A1+B1 A2 = C2/2 B2 = C2/2 C2 = C3-C1 A3 = A1+A2 B3 = B1+B2 C3 = 709 "PaMeLa" wrote: Hello everyone, I am new on this board and in desperate need for help!

Hi Pamela,
Try this formula. =(G1+(G4-G3)/2)+(G2+(G4-G3)/2) Where G1 = 158 G2 = 348 G3 = =G1+G2 G4 = 709 HTH Regards, Howard "PaMeLa" wrote in message ...
