Hi,

=c6*root!$g$3

C6 is a cell in the worksheet the formula is in

$G$3 is cell G3 on a worksheet called Root

the formula multiplies these 2 cells together

The dollar signs stop G3 changing if the formula is dragged down or across

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

"root" is the name of a sheet in the file - it may have been hidden.
The formula basically multiplies the contents of cell C6 with G3 in
the root sheet.

Hope this helps.
