parker has 136 votes (d7)
allen has 5059 (b7) webb has 4704(c7) if allen takes 66% of parker votes and webb takes 24% of parker votes what will parker have left. because I had to add total votes i did =d7*.66+b7 and =d7*.24+c7 WHAT WILL BE THE FORMULA TO GET PARKER REMAINING VOTES |

One way:
=D7-SUM(ROUND(D7*{0.66,0.24},0)) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Shone33" wrote in message ... parker has 136 votes (d7) allen has 5059 (b7) webb has 4704(c7) if allen takes 66% of parker votes and webb takes 24% of parker votes what will parker have left. because I had to add total votes i did =d7*.66+b7 and =d7*.24+c7 WHAT WILL BE THE FORMULA TO GET PARKER REMAINING VOTES |

Thank you for the compliment. OK, what do you think of this? D7 = 137 A vote has a value of 1. There are no half votes or decimal portions of a vote. At least, that's how I read it! =D7-(D7*0.66+D7*0.24) Returns 13.6 So you need to round the result of each multiplication operation: D7*0.66 = 90.42 D7*0.24 = 32.88 ROUND(D7*0.66,0) = 90 ROUND(D7*0.24,0) = 33 137-SUM(90,33) = 13 votes left for Parker You might "luck out" where the numbers involved don't need rounding: D7 = 140 But you never know what the numbers involved might be so you're safer using the rounding method. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Yabi" wrote in message ...
