Hi all

Excel 97

I have a sheet like

A1........B1.............C1...............D1...... .........................E1....................... .....F1

qty....unit cost..... discount... total with discount... vat..........................total with vat at 17.5%

1........£100...............30.00%..........£70... ....................£12.25.....................£82 .25

Now what I cannot find out how to do is this


In D1

Take B1 then multiply by A1...... then take C1 off

I have put it like this =(B1*A1)*C1 BUT that does not work. Because it gives me £30.00 and it should be £70.00



Also how would I put in F1........ B1 plus A1 less C1 multiply by 17.5% to give me a grand total



As always, any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

First formula required in D1: =B1*A1*(1-C1)
Second formula in F1: = D1+E1
In E1 to get the VAT amount put: =D1*0.175

You might consider putting in a reference cell at the top of the sheet to
set the VAT rate so if it changes you can update all rows.
For example if you put in A2 17.5%, then the formula in E1 would be =D1*$A$2
The $ symbols makes the cell A2 absolute the same as you copy the fomula
down the column.

John,

Try

D1: =A1*(B1-(B1*C1))
E1: =D1*17.5%
F1: =D1+E1 or simply =D1*(1+17.5%)
