    Re: Weight watchers formula

    I have created a formula based on your calc, Including a table for inputting the data variables. However, I am unclear on what the "max" part of the formula is supposed to do? "max" is normally used to find the largest number in a list of numbers, that formula you gave results in just 1 number. If it is part of a list of different answers, then the "max" part, needs to be applied seperately. Hope this helps?

    Thanks I already set the number to 0 decimal places which i think does the same thing? I wasnt sure of the Max either. The formula was
    taken from a patent for calculating weightwatchers points.

    I think that you missed dividing by the 175 in your formula. Try this one.
