multiple function in formula
Hey guys
How can I make the following formula work =(B3+C3+D3)*E3*F3? I need the numbers in brackets to be multiplied by E3 and then that number multiplied by F3, what am I doing wrong? Thanks Mel |

Try this
=(((B3+C3+D3)*(E3))*(F3)) let me know if it works. Thanks Gary "Mel B" <Mel wrote in message ... Hey guys How can I make the following formula work =(B3+C3+D3)*E3*F3? I need the numbers in brackets to be multiplied by E3 and then that number multiplied by F3, what am I doing wrong? Thanks Mel |

Hi Gary
Thanks for this, alas it didn't work :( the answer I get is 2 decimal places out i.e. 4.14875 as opposed to 414.875 and has "E+12" on the end.....?

Thanks Mel Give some sample data, expected and actual results. For example =(1+2+3)*4*5 -- 120 What result do you expect? --ron |

Hi Mel,
There is nothing wrong with your formula, it works just fine as is. It sounds like you are getting a very large number from it. Excel only handles numbers up to 15 digits. After that it just adds zeroes, that's what the E+12 is all about. Whatever the number is move the decimal point 12 places to the right substituting zeroes after you run out of numbers. HTH Martin |

Mel, You're on the right track. Try this =SUM($B$3:$D$3)*E3*F3 -- patele ------------------------------------------------------------------------ patele's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=35849 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=561978 |
