excel formula
If parker has 136 votes and allen will receive 66% of parker votes and then
webb will receive 24% of parker votes. and then parker will keep the remaining votes. what formula do i use. I tried =SUM(D7*0.66+B7). this formula also added webb and allen current votes. was this formula correct? windows vista home premium, service pack 1 and excel 2007. I am fairly new to excel

excel formula
Some thoughts ..
Don't understand your logic and how it all gells, but as posted, your formula below contains redundancy =SUM(D7*0.66+B7) Above could be written as either =SUM(D7*0.66,B7) or simply: =D7*0.66+B7 Suggest you start a new thread for your underlying query. Elaborate further exactly what you have (eg what's in D7 - another formula?, a value?, what does D7 stand for, what's in B7, etc. Explain with sample data, & expected results. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:23,000 Files:370 Subscribers:66 xdemechanik --- "Shone33" wrote: If parker has 136 votes and allen will receive 66% of parker votes and then webb will receive 24% of parker votes. and then parker will keep the remaining votes. what formula do i use.

excel formula
I have a 4 canidates. I have allen, webb, parker, and write in. parker has 136 votes allen already has 5059 votes and will take 66% of parker votes webb already has 4704 votes and will take 24% of parker votes what ever is left will remain parker. I want to know is the formula that I used =SUM(D7*0.66+B7) correct to get each individual total votes "Max" wrote: Some thoughts ..

ok, I'd presume this is what you have in B6
 7 :allen webb parker 5059 4704 136 Then to compute it consistent with your description you could have: In B8: =D7*0.66+B7 In C8: =D7*0.24+C7 In D8: =D7*(1-0.66-0.24) B8 8 should return the results that you seek(Formula in D8 is left intentionally as-is to make it clear what's happening) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:23,000 Files:370 Subscribers:66 xdemechanik --- "Shone33" wrote: I have a 4 canidates.
