Formula for multiplying and adding percentage please help.
A pretty simple question I guess. I am trying to make a template to do
material take offs for a construction company. I am trying to add 10-15% to various cells. An example of what I am after. A | B | C 1 100 =A1*(2+10%) 2 3 4 What I am getting is 200.1 when what I am expecting is 220 ... 100 * 2 = 200 +10% = 220. What in my formula do I have wrong ? |

I don't know how you get 200.1, I get 210 because 100*2 = 200 + 10% (of 100
NOT 200) = 210 -- HTH Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk "Johnnychadrice" wrote in message ...

Ok still not what I am after sorry. Let me try to explain better.
Let say for track its 10' long and I need one on bottom of wall and one on top on my spreadsheet I would like to enter the lf of wall and it calculate the ammount of track I need, cost plus 10% for waste A1 = 100 lf wall B1 = A1 * 2 "Now thats 200 cause I need track for top and bottom. From that 200 I need to add 10% for waste/extra/overhead/profit. so { 100 x 2 + 10% = 220 lf} Im good from here cause in another cell or what ever I can do 220/10 and it will let me know for the sectin I need 22 pieces of 10' track to build a wall 100' long." I just cant get it to give me 10% off of 100 x 2 if gives me 10% off of 100 which is not what I am after. So A1 x 2 + and additional 10% Thanks "Don Guillett" wrote: =E1*(100%+10%) or e1*1.10 -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "Johnnychadrice" wrote in message ...

Formula for multiplying and adding percentage please help.
I dont know why I get 200.1 ither why I am here. So is there a formula that
makes this correct? A | B | c | 1 100 220 2 So what I am trying to get is 100 x 2 ... then an additional 10% off the 200 100 x 2 = 200 + 10% = 220 Can I do this in B2 somehow?

Hi Johnny,
=A1*2*110% or simpler =A1*2*1.1 Should give you what you are after. Although that does seem to be an awkward way to set up your spreadsheet. It appears to be a solution for one particular equation and not adjustable for different variables. Then again I can't see your data, or know the big picture of what you are trying to achieve.
