    For the past 15 years I have used paper, pen and a calculator to do percentage of discounts then put it on a sheet. Months of my life would have been saved had I only knew just this one thing. Thank you.

      With spreadsheets you have formulas in cells that take numbers from other cells and perform operations on them. You don't permanently change the values in a column. So you would create a second column, yes. In that column you would have the formula to do your calculation based on the numbers in the first column, like multiplying by 1.1 to "add 10 percent."

    For a business that collects sales tax on purchases, I am in search of a rounding formula similar to my Canon Calculator rounding feature. The Canon calculator has a round-up, round-off or round-down feature. Example, I have a purchase ticket of $37.00 in which my Canon calculator rounds up tax $3.06 at tax rate 8.25%. However, in my Apple Numbers tax column the tax amount shows as $3.05 tax on purchase of $37.00. Essentially Numbers reads the tax as $3.053. How can I round up $3.053 to $3.06 regardless of the third decimal number? I use a custom formula to determine taxable and non-taxable purchases..."Y" for sales tax or "N" for exempt. Current Formula from a specific cell in sales tax column IF(G18="Y",F18×8.25%) [G18 is yes for taxable, F18 is purchase amount $37.00 times tax rate 8.25%]. Thanks!

      20% is simply the number 0.2. So if you subtract that from 100 you get 99.8. You have to subtract 20 percent OF your amount, not the value 0.2. So A1-A1*20%. Watch the video for a better explanation.

    • @macmost
      @macmost  2 роки тому

      First, the SUM function doesn't work like that. It sums a range, like SUM(B2:B9) to add up the cells from B2 to B9. If you just want to add two cells that aren't in a range, just add. So B3+D3. Then you have to watch your parenthesis and know basic order-of-operations. So multiplication comes before addition. So B3+D3*10% would multiple D3 by 10% and add B3. You want (B3+D3)*10% which would add the numbers first, then multiply the total by 10%.
