Externalizing formulas.
I have a spreadsheet that has to calculate a list price for thousands of
products from about ten different factors. The problem is that there are about 12 different formulas to calculate the list price base AND those formulas change frequently and are almost randomly assigned to the products. Is there a way to externalize a formula in Excel to make changing the formula easier? List Price Factor 1 Factor 2 Factor 3 Factor 4 Factor 5 Etc. Product 1 Formula 1 12 23 15 16 10 Product 2 Formula 2 2 14 9 5 6 Product 3 Formula 4 45 78 54 5 32 Product 4 Formula 1 34 75 54 5 67 Product 5 Formula 5 23 23 65 7 34 Product 6 Formula 3 1 54 67 55 23 Product 7 Formula 1 32 43 78 45 12 Product 8 Formula 5 23 67 89 3 43 Etc. Formula 1 = (C + D)/F + E/G Formula 2 = (C + D)/G + E/F Formula 3 = (G + C)/F + E/G Formula 4 = (D + D*2)/E + E/G Formula 5 = (C + D)/(F*1.12) + E/G Formula 6 = (C + D)/(F+G) + E/G |

Externalizing formulas.
Hi Dwayne
Use Named ranges to define your formulas. With your cursor in cell B1 InsertNameDefineName Formula1 Refers to = (C1 + D1)/F1 + E1/G1 Repeat the procedure for each of the other formulae. Then in column B enter =Formula1 or whatever is appropriate for each product. As the references are all relative, they will adjust as you enter further down column B. To amend any formula, just amend the named item. -- Regards Roger Govier "Dwayne" wrote in message ...
