Sorry, but not sure what your request is. However, this is the equation I put in the cell: =301.5/COS(19.79) and I got 511.5117. HTH "Lois Ann" wrote: 301.5/cos19.79=301.5/.94023=320.43 ? -- Lois Ann |

Yes, that is what I got too, and I need to come up with the correct anser of
320.43. So there must be another solution to this problem. If you do this on a calculator you'll see what I mean. -- Lois Ann "pdberger" wrote: Lois Ann -- Sorry, but not sure what your request is.

Don't forget in excel = cos() uses radians *not* degrees
Im off to work, I'll put my brain around your numbers in the morning (if no one else has) Steve On Wed, 02 Aug 2006 21:19:55 +0100, Lois Ann wrote: Yes, that is what I got too, and I need to come up with the correct anser of 320.43.

Steve has given you the answer, but in case you can't wait for him to
finish work you need to enter your formula as: =301.5/COS(RADIANS(19.79)) 19.79 are degrees, and as trigonometrical functions in Excel use radians you have to convert these as shown. Hope this helps.
