How do i make a formula using cells (divide B3/B5)
I am trying to get excel to divide cell B3 by B5. I have been entering in
=B3/B5 and it keeps giving me #VALUE!. I also need to drag the formula down. I thought this was how to do it but apparently im wrong. A little help would be much appreciated. |

Perhaps you have text in B3 or B5 (even if they look numeric)? If you drag the formula down you'll get =B4/B6 in the cell below, if you want to keep one of the values the same use something like =B$3/B5 when you drag this down it becomes =B$3/B6 in the cell below -- daddylonglegs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ daddylonglegs's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=30486 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=505166 |

I hope that you are writing this formula in another cell. i.e. in C5. It
works for me. Are B3 and B5 text values? Maybe? Gilles "ace8707" wrote in message ... I am trying to get excel to divide cell B3 by B5. I have been entering in =B3/B5 and it keeps giving me #VALUE!.
