Yes, prefect, I just used "11.25" because I knew it would result in a nice round result: "10"

If I had used "10", the result would have been "8.89", or "12.5" the answer would have been a very messy "11.1111111111111111"...

Prefect, to expand on this, you need to format the results column for 2 decimal places so in Johcar's example, you'd end up with 11.11 PM me if you want any how to tips.

Its up and running saved me mate hours of calculations. Went back to my truck and hour ago and there are 12 cans of woodies on the front seat. Had told him not to bother mates dont have to pay anything but he didnt take any notice.

863745 2010-03-04 05:11:00 That's funny - thought I just heard one of those Woodies being opened.... :D johcar (6283)
863746 2010-03-04 05:17:00 11.25 =A1-(A1/9) (result = "10")

(where the value "11.25" is in cell A1)

Why not just divide by 1.125 ?

863747 2010-03-04 05:57:00 Cos that's too easy.... johcar (6283)

There's all sorts of ways of arriving at the same answer ;)

In the meantime, the time to send some Woodies from Whest Auckland to the Centre of the Universe at Ellerslie is only 45 minutes at most. I am awaiting my share in breathless anticip ........................ation. ;)

Rumour is, next year's Ellerslie Flower Show will be held at Taihape, where they'll place flowers in gumboots and throw them down the main street.
