circular reference formula
Hi
I have a formula with circular reference. When a I put any valur in any of these reference cells the formaula gets overwritten by the value. Is there any way that I can put values in any of these cells without overwriting the formuls to try various permutations. Below is the example:- Cell A B C 500 10 2% Formula +C1*A1 B1/A1 Cell B1 & C1 are having formula with cicular reference. What I am trying to get is that if I change the B1 value to 50 from 10, then C1 should automatically change to 10% & vice versa. OR If C1 is changed to 10% B1 should change to 50 so that I can try as many combinationas possible. The problem here is that once i put "50" in B1 or "10%" in C1 the formula gets overwritten with the absolute value. Would be thank ful if anybody can suggest any solution for this? Regards Abhi |

Regards Abhi I have done a similar thing with Sin/Tan/Cos formulas and Pythagoras calculations. I use 2 rows, with answers in the second row (A2, B2, C2) being dependant on what cells are filled in the first row. The formulas are all in the second row and can be protected to ensure that they are not overtyped. I also format the cells A2, B2, C2 in bold red to indicate that they are calculated. Try entering formulas as follows and then enter data in either A1, B1, C1. In your case you will need to format C1 and C2 as Percentage with 0 decimal places. A2=IF(AND(B1<"",C1<""),B1/C1,"") B2=IF(AND(A1<"",C1<""),C1*A1,"") C2=IF(AND(A1<"",B1<""),B1/A1,"") If you really want to have only a single row of cells, then you could use a macro triggered by the worksheet_change event to update the values in the other 2 cells.

HTH Regarding the macro, if the value in A1 is changed (to say 1000) which of B1 or C1 would you rather changed? |

HTH Regarding the macro, if the value in A1 is changed (to say 1000) which of B1 or C1 would you rather changed? If you want B1 to take precedence then this VBA code should do it: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Application.EnableEvents = False On Error GoTo ee Select Case Target.Address Case "$A$1", "$C$1" [b1].Value = [c1].Value * [a1].Value Case "$B$1" [c1].Value = [b1].Value / [a1].Value End Select ee: Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub Alternatively if C1 is to take precedence then: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) Application.EnableEvents = False On Error GoTo ee Select Case Target.Address Case "$C$1" [b1].Value = [c1].Value * [a1].Value Case "$A$1", "$B$1" [c1].Value = [b1].Value / [a1].Value End Select ee: Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub Enjoy |

You will need some VBA macro code (Worksheet_Change). Do you mind?
HTH -- AP "Abhi" a écrit dans le message de ... Hi I have a formula with circular reference. When a I put any valur in any of these reference cells the formaula gets overwritten by the value.
