adding a % (2003 SP3)

Post by steveh »

Good morning

I have a cell that is populated with a result from various other cells, I have another cell that is formatted as % which will contain a variable number set by the airlines each month, currently 11% in another cell I would like to add the percentage to get a true total. At the moment I am using for example

=C12*B12 (£500*11%=£55) and then have to use another cell to add B12+D12 (£500+£55=£555)

Is there a way to make the formula calculate and add the percentage at the same time in the same cell?

If you have £500 in C12 and 11% in D12 then you can put the formula =C12*(1+D12) in the target cell to get a result of £555
