To carry out the multiplication directly in the cell type in the formula preceded by = and using asterisks (*) for the multiplication symbol. For example, =240*4. To multiply the contents of two existing cells use a formula similar to =B12*C12. To avoid mistakes click on the cell in question, rather than typing its address.
The formula you use depends upon what you are trying to calculate. If you want to multiply two cells (e.g. A1 and C2), the formula would be =A1*C2.
The answer is in cell C1.Put "this" in cell A1.Put "question" in cell B1.Put the following formula in C1: =A1&" "&B1
=IF(A1>4,150,75) In this case if A1 is 4, then 75 will show. If you want 150 to show when A1 is 4 then the formula would be: =IF(A1>=4,150,75)
If you want to compare the contents of cell A1 on Sheet1 to A1 on Sheet2 and put an X in cell B1 on Sheet1, then in cell B1 on Sheet1 you would put the following formula: =IF(A1=Sheet2!A1,"X","")
You use the * key, which can be found on the numeric keypad.
You can divide by anything except zero. So you can use a number or a cell with a number in it. You use the / symbol for division. So your formula to divide something in cell A1, which must go into a cell other than A1, could be like either of the following: =A1/10 =A1/B2
A simple formula put into D1 could be: =A1*B1 Which is asking the numerical data in cell A1, be timed by the numerical data in cell B1, and show the answer in cell D1.
Assuming "take away" means to subtract, here is the formula for subtracting the contents of cell B1 from the contents of cell A1:=A1-B1
There is no way to have a value in one cell put a formula in another cell. However, you can put a formula in a cell that will change, based on the value of another cell. If you put the formula =A1 in cell B1, B1 will display the value of whatever you place in cell A1.
If you have a value in cell A1 on Sheet1 and you want it to appear in Sheet 2, you use a formula. So in a cell on Sheet2 type: =Sheet1!A1 Sheet1 is the sheet name. The exclamation mark separates it from the cell reference. Now whatever is in the cell A1 on Sheet1 will appear in the cell with that formula.
Format the cell as text. You also can input a formula: =text(A1) Remark: if the content is in cell A1.
