Formula

Can anyone help, I am having an absolute mental block!!!

I have a workbook and am trying to work out a formula to work out estimated income.

for example:

Name: No Of Visits @£530: Total Cost:
John Smith 12 £6360
Sara C-G 10 £5300

How do I enter the number of visits, and for Excel to automatically work out and fill in cell three that the cost will be £6360 or £5200 without me doing Autosum or getting out my trusty calculator!

I can't for the life of me remember!

Any help truly appreciated.

RE: Formula

Hi Sarah

Don't worry we all have mental blocks at times, thankfully, that's why we have the forum to help :)

A B C D
1 Name: No Of Visits Cost per visit Total Cost
2 John Smith 12 £530 =B2*C2
3 Sara C-G 10 £530 =B3*C3

The above example allows a different No of Visits and Cost per vist

If you want one cost to apply for all you can refer to an individual cell using an Absolute cell reference ($)

A B C
1 Cost per Visit £530
2
3 Name: No Of Visits Total Cost
4 John Smith 12 =$B$1*B4
5 Sara C-G 10 =$B$1*B5


Hope this makes sense and answers your question.

Dennis

Excel tip:

Entering text in Multiple Worksheets

If you have a number of worksheets in a workbook that require the same information (data or tables) on each worksheet, this can be done as follows:

Hold down the Ctrl key and click one or more of the additional worksheet tabs (i.e. Sheet2, Sheet3, etc).

In your mainsheet (Sheet1) enter the required data or design a table.

When done 'Click' on the other sheet tabs and you will see that the information entered in Sheet1 is on all the other selected worksheets.

NB Do not forget to deselect the worksheets - otherwise you may add data to the main worksheet and all the selected worksheets will also have that data!
