calculating product of 2 cells where 1 cell is in percentage
This is driving me nuts. I am a newbie at Excel.
I am trying to build a weight loss progress chart, and I need to multiple body fat percentage column with body weight (e.g. 22 * 180). So far so good, it's giving me 3960. But I need it as 39.60. The 22 should be taken as 22/100 and then multiplied by 180. When I tried (C2*D2/100), its rounding the value to 40. I need 39.60. I don't want to round it off. Thanks in advance. I am a newbie and I searched all over but couldn;t find an answer. May be I am searching incorrectly. |

It's giving me 39.60. Try right clicking the cell, 'Format Cells' and format
it as 'Number' Regards, Alan. "PJ" wrote in message ... This is driving me nuts. I am a newbie at Excel.

Format the cells that hold the body fat as PERCENTAGE
FormatCellsNumber tabPercentage =D2*C2 Or, if you prefer, using the default GENERAL format =D2*(C2/100) Format as NUMBER 2 decimal places -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "PJ" wrote in message ...

Thank you so much. It worked.
Now I dragged the cell all the way down for other rows to be applied the same formula and they all showed up as 0.00. Can I get rid of "0.00" and leave the cell blank? I want it show up only if I entered body fat % and weight columns. Once again thanks. |

Try something like this (depending on which format method you chose to use
for C2): =IF(COUNT(C2:D2)<2,"",D2*C2) =IF(COUNT(C2:D2)<2,"",D2*(C2/100)) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP wrote in message ... Thank you so much. It worked.
