=B1/A1
I have a spreadsheet where column A has the number of miles and column B has
the total cost. I want to find the cost per mile. In cell C1 I've put =B1/A1 and I've got the cost per mile. Obviously I want to copy this down to get a result for B2/A2 etc but all I get is the same answer as is in cell C1. Why is this? Any ideas out there? |

Sounds like calc mode is in manual.
Press F9, does it compute properly? To check/change calc mode, click Tools Options Calculation tab Ensure Automatic is checked OK -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "yhtak" wrote: I have a spreadsheet where column A has the number of miles and column B has the total cost.

You might have the calculation option set to manual - go to Tools |
Options | Calculation tab and ensure that Automatic is checked. You might want to amend the formula slightly to: =IF(A1=0,0,B1/A1) to avoid getting #DIV/0? errors if you copy the formula too far. Hope this helps. Pete On Jun 19, 10:15 am, yhtak wrote: I have a spreadsheet where column A has the number of miles and column B has the total cost. I want to find the cost per mile.
