excel formula's

[Guest]

when i add 2 numbers then divide by a number it's answer is wrong, why

example: when i add 500 = A1
100 = A2
=A1 + A2/10 answer comes back as 150

You need to add (): Excel divides and multiplies before it adds and substracts.
(A1+A2)/10 --> Excel will 1st add then divide the result of the addition.

I don't undertstand why you get 150 I assume it's a type for 510 but to get
the correct answer you must force precedence with brackets:-

=(A1+A2)/10 returns 60 for the values you give whereas

=A1+A2/10 returns 510 bevcause the division is done first.

What answer do you expect?

=A1+A2/10 gives me 510

=(A1+A2)/10 returns 60

I have no idea why you would ever get 150 out of your formula unless that is a
typo and you meant 510

=A2+A1/10 would give you 150.

What answer do you expect?

=A1+A2/10 gives me 510

=(A1+A2)/10 returns 60

I have no idea why you would ever get 150 out of your formula unless that is a
typo and you meant 510

This isn't all of them, but a lot of common ones:

If you want a workbook that lists all the Excel worksheet functions, download
this one from Peter Noneley.

http://www.xlfdic.com/

Very good examples and usage of all the Excel Functions.

Or just look in help for functions and examples.

In help you can also find about the order of operations, which was the cause of
your error in the first place.

That is not what OP posted as the formula used.

=A1 + A2/10 answer comes back as 150

I guess the typo was in the formula, not the result.

Not *all* Excel functions, I think, but a useful collection.
Your advice to use Excel help is wise; it's often a temptation to give an
"RTFM" answer to many of the questions on this and other Excel newsgroups.
The help data (and list of functions, with the one usual exception) are
available at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HP052042111033.aspx
