IF Formula

[Nickie]

I am having trouble finding the formular for column F I have typed in what i
think it should be but it keeps returning the wrong answers


A B C D E F
VAT 17.50% Required formula
Bean £1.00 £5.88 £5.88 £5.88 =IF(C3=E3,"ok","not ok"
Banana £5.00 £6.00 £7.05 £7.05
Fruit £6.00 £1.00 £1.18 £30.00
lace £56.00 £8.00 £9.40
Formular for this column =(C3*$C$1)+C3


Any help much appreciated

I'm guessing you havent rounded your result
if you have a value of 5.88 and add VAT you get 6.909 - although it
may DISPLAY to 2dp it is not stored to 2dp

try
=round(c3*(1+c1),2)

for the main formula, and possibly a similar rounding elsewhere
