in dire need of chem help!!!

M

mightymo

the formula is
the numerator=log[K18 x(G17)m(as a superscript)/K17 (G18)m
(as a superscript)

the denominator is log[ H18 x H17]


How do I enter the formula into excel using the cell
locations? I do not know where the parentheses, etc. go.

Try the following:-

=LOG(K18*(G17^3))/(K17*G18*(G17^3))

Don't really need the brackets round the G17^3 bit, but it helps me to read the
formula.

The 3 represents your m and can be replaced with a cell reference.

Grrrrrr - would help if I read the damn question properly, but in my defence,
I'm having to make assumptions as you haven't closed off the LOG parenthesis in
the numerator example, so I'm going to assume that the last part of your
numerator is actually the base value of the LOG function (But it is an optional
argument so I could be wrong there)!!!!

=LOG((K18*(G17^3))/K17,G18^3)/LOG(H18*H17)

Just clarify the numerator if I was incorrect in my assumption, or the example
may well give you what you need anyway in the form of the syntax to be able to
fix it.

Wow...thank you so much for replying to my message. I've
never posted a question in the forums and wasn't really
expecting anyone to reply. I really appreciate your help.

My pleasure, but do check the result manually as well to make sure that it is
doing what you wanted it to, before you start relying on it. Belt and Braces
every time :)
