What are you trying to do? |
Well, I have to create a spreadsheet for a company to demonstrate that I know how to use Excel. They give me all the numbers, I just need to know the formulas to calculate the totals of those numbers. For instance, this theoretical company owner sells bikes. He sells them for $250, and he can sell 15 a week. I have to come up with the formula to calculate the sales for the entire year. I also have to come up with a formula to calculate the cost of goods for a year - which is $150 per bike. I can do the math part, that's easy. It's just the formulas that I'm having a hard time with.
Can you describe a bit more what the goal and problem are? |
See above. There are very specific formulas that Excel uses to calculate for you so you don't have to do the math yourself. It's supposed to be easier - I, however, am having a harder time with the formulas than I am the math. I'm feeling pretty darn stupid, actually, and I'm becoming more and more convinced that Excel is the devil's work - which would make Bill Gates the devil incarnate.
And if it doesn't help, I really do hope you find an Excel wiz on here! |
I sure hop so too! Like Terp said, we may all end up learning something from this!
