Excel formula not able to work this out
I have a bar length of metal say 6000 in 1 cell and the £55.12 value in another how can i change the size of the bar length so that the value changes automatically. Probably straight forward but brain is not that advanced yet.
Thanks Barry |

Have a look at the attached. From the limited info in your original post, I presume there is a standard "cost per length" which is just the cost your gave divided by the bar length. The attachment should make sense but let me know if I've got the wrong end of the stick. |

Probably straight forward but brain is not that advanced yet. I presume you are asking: how can you determine the price based on the length purchased? If 6000 is in A1, 55.12 is in B1, and the length purchased is in A2, the price can be computed as follows (perhaps in B2): =ROUND(A2*$B$1/$A$1,2) Note that B1/A1 is the price per inch. Also note that use of $B$1 and $A$1 ("absolute references") allow you to copy the formula down the column, assuming other purchase lengths are in column A. |
