Excel

Hello Wendy

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

When you create a formula, you can't refer to cells that have a combination of numbers and letters in them - Excel can only use cells that have numbers only in them to figure out a result for you.

What I would suggest is putting 5.2 in one cell (e.g. A1) and 2.9 in another (e.g. B1).

Then in a third cell put in your formula =A1*B1

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
Amanda
