Hi, What it is doing is, mathmatically it may look like as follows:
= 18.25/(1-.65) which is again equal to =18.25/0.35 Oh, i think your formula wants to achieve this 1) Lets assume a figure as X, while the figure 18.25 is 35% of X, in order to know what the figure X is, you will apply the formula =18.25/ (1-0.65) I hope that solves your problem Cheers Harry On May 27, 11:45 pm, markndawoods <markndawo...@molalla.net> wrote: > what is this formula designed to provide? > > =F24/(1-F25) > > where cell F24 is a dollar figure of $18.25 > and cell F25 is a percent 65% > > It is in a spreadsheet I use at work and am just courious as to what > it is. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
