Help Finding (Difficult?) Formula
- Nov 02, 2023
Refer to the following image:
If E1 = D1/B1 should equal E2, then with simple algebra, the formula in D1 should be =B1*E2.
And if D1 = A1*C1, then with simple algebra, the formula in A1 should be =D1/C1.
But note that A1 is not $425, and D1 is not $5100.
-----
OTOH, if A1 should be rounded down to a multiple of 5 (wild guess; you need to specify why you expect $425), then perhaps the formula in A1 should be =FLOOR(B1*E2/C1, 5), and the formula in D1 can be =A1*C1, as specified originally.
That results in the following:
But note that E1 cannot be exactly the goal in E2. (But for this example, it does round to E2.)
-----
Alternatively, if D1 should be rounded to a multiple of $100 (again, a wild guess; you need to specify), then the formula in D1 should be =MROUND(B1*E2, 100), and the formula in A1 might be =D1/C1 again.
That results in the following again:
But note that again E1 cannot be exactly the goal in E2.

Hi Riny_van_Eekelen,
Thank you for your reply. I edited original post for clarity. The suggested MAX formula resulted as $0 and does not work.- Riny_van_EekelenNov 02, 2023Platinum Contributor
