Getting wrong values
I'm missing something simple, but I am trying to get a value (displayed as a
percentage) in one cell, using the cell next to it as part of the equation. The problem is that the second cell is displaying a value from an equation that's built inside of it and when I use it for the first cell, I get a wrong value. I have cells B8 & C8. Inside of B8 I want to display the value (as a %) while using cell C8 as part of the equation. ex (B8 = C8/6). However, C8 has an equation related to some other cells. (C8 = Average(D8:AA8). In other words, the value that is displayed in C8 (Which is "5.8") is the number that I want to use for the equation in B8, however, I'm getting the wrong answer. What can I do to use only the value in C8 for the equation in B8? |

In Cell B8 enter:
=(C8/6) then Format as % "PW" wrote: I'm missing something simple, but I am trying to get a value (displayed as a percentage) in one cell, using the cell next to it as part of the equation.

Jim,
I used that, but got a different value...

In a blank cell enter = Average(D8:AA8)
What do you get? - What you expect? Continue to break-it-down into it's parts.. All parts must work in Excel for the final part to work. Jim "PW" wrote: Jim, I used that, but got a different value...

Please be more clear; "wrong answer" and "different answer" are too vague.
What did you expect and what did you get instead? And what exactly where the values of the input cells? -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "PW" wrote in message ... | I'm missing something simple, but I am trying to get a value (displayed as a | percentage) in one cell, using the cell next to it as part of the equation. | | The problem is that the second cell is displaying a value from an equation | that's built inside of it and when I use it for the first cell, I get a wrong | value. | | I have cells B8 & C8. | Inside of B8 I want to display the value (as a %) while using cell C8 as | part of the equation. ex (B8 = C8/6). | | However, C8 has an equation related to some other cells.
