help on a Formula

[Shanny]

I have a colleague that asked help with a formula - He would like to add 3
cells up and then multiply it by 20% and add that into the total

I tried =sum(a1:a3)+(a1:a3*.20)
but it didn't work

Can this be done in one cell or do you have to use two cells to calculate
this.

thanks
Shanny

DId you mean to post this in an Excel group?

 

[Shanny]

Yes I did - I thought I was in Excel - I am so sorry - Do I repost it?

Umm yes, as this is for Outlook Contacts, which doesn't use formulae......

U can do this way.... =120%*(sum(a1:a3))

 

[Ross]

or turn it around as :

=sum(a1:a3)*1.2

both will work
