formula not working
- Jun 18, 2022
Mark_Keithley Why would you say that? The formulae are similar though very different when it comes one particular cell it references. That is cell C119. In one formula you reference it on the Financial Analysis sheet, containing 12.4%. In the other formula you reference C119 in the Valuation Metrics sheet, but you don't show the the value of that cell. I bet it contains a number close to -0.00014299004568567. So, something like -0.001429%. The formulae do exactly what you tell it to do. If the outcome is wrong you perhaps referenced the wrong cells.
Mark_KeithleyWhat's in cells C119 on the two sheets mentioned in the formulae? And please confirm that both D15 and D30 refer to the cells on the sheet visible in the screenshot. If not, please clarify and show us the values in each of these cells.
Both formula are similar. Please explain why one result is correct and the other is wrong. What should the correct answer be?
I’m pretty sure that B36 should be smaller than D30 like in B17. C119 is on another sheet. Is there anyway that I can send the actual document?

Yes, that is exactly what happened. The wrong cell was selected. I don’t know how I missed that. I should have realized that, thank you.
