DIVIDE AND MULTIPLY

DIVIDE AND MULTIPLY

(OP)
I still cannot get this to work:
=[ADMISSION REVENUES](/1.0825)*0.0825  --this is going to a field named "Amusement Tax".
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks again,
Gwen

RE: DIVIDE AND MULTIPLY

what result are you getting?

I assume you have the "/" after the "]" and not inside the "("

RE: DIVIDE AND MULTIPLY

I'm not sure which way you want it but if you want the result of ADMISSION REVENUES divided by 1.0825 to be  multiplied by 0.0825, then it needs to be:

=([ADMISSION REVENUES]/1.0825)*0.0825

If you want ADMISSION REVENUES to be divided by the result of 1.0825)*0.0825, then it needs to be:

=[ADMISSION REVENUES]/(1.0825)*0.0825)

RE: DIVIDE AND MULTIPLY

I made a mistake in the last post. In the second calculation it should have been:

If you want ADMISSION REVENUES to be divided by the result of 1.0825)*0.0825, then it needs to be:

=[ADMISSION REVENUES]/(1.0825*0.0825)

Sorry,

RE: DIVIDE AND MULTIPLY

Always careful with the () and mutiply and divide cases.
It is basic math idea.
The action in the () will do first.
