Hi Dean, Here is the solution:
1. & 2. Just use this formula Excel 2007 or Excel 2010 =IFERROR((I55/I54)*3600," ") Excel 2003 or older =IF(ISERROR((I55/I54))," ",(I55/I54)*3600) 3. In cell A10, use the formula below(any version of excel): =If(A9<=0.5,2,If(A9<=0.8,3,If(A9>=0.8,4,3))) 4. Watch and then do the steps below: i. Press Ctrl+A to select all cells. ii. Right click and choose "Format Cells". iii. Go to Protection Tab and select "Locked" - Click Ok. iv. Now go to those cells which needs to be unlocked(allow to enter data) - repeat the steps above and uncheck the "Locked". v. In case of 2007/2010 Review --> Protect Sheet v. In case of Office XP/2003 Tools --> Protection --> Protect Sheet vi. and give password --> that's it :) Regards Ashish Jain McKinsey India Knowledge Center (Microsoft Certified Application Specialist) (Microsoft Certified Professional) http://www.excelitems.com http://www.openexcel.com On Oct 22, 2:49 pm, Dean Brown <bramfiel...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Hi group. > > I am very inexperienced in using MS Excel however I am trying to > develop a simple spreadsheet which will do a calculation that I have > to do on a regular basis.
