thanks for your help, however when we follow your instructions it comes up with the following error, "formula in cell must result in a number" is it actually possible to find y? e.g. 3Y=Y+1 2Y=1 Y=0.5 Can excel tell us that y is 0.5 in this example? -- danepak86 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ danepak86's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29323 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=490411
