excel 2003 visual basic intermediate course - Excel VAT function!!

Hi Laura,

Thank you for your post.

I am not aware of a particular function in Excel called VAT, however you can create something similar.

By entering a value in a particular cell which you can name VAT; using the name box (highlight the cell, click in the Name box and type VAT, press Enter), this cell is now named VAT)

Any entries in this cell would be the value for VAT (eg 1.175 to give the value including VAT or 0.175 just to show the VAT element) thereafter you can relate to that cell anywhere in the Workbook by using a formula such as =A1*VAT - select B1 and enter this formula, where A1 is the figure which you wish to find the Vat of, VAT is the name of the cell in which you have entered the VAT value.

Hope that helps,
regards Pete
