    Question Help with #REF! error

    I'm really not that good with excel so if someone could help me out I'd appreciate it.

    This is a simple algebraic equation that solves for x. Go ahead and laugh at my "paint" job
    Here is the equation: =SUM((((C18-F18)/G18)/(H18(1+(D18/100))))-1)*100

    Thanks for your help!

    You need some sort of operator between H18 and (1+(D18/100)). Excel will not assume multiplication.

    =SUM((((C18-F18)/G18)/(H18*(1+(D18/100))))-1)*100

    Re: Help with #REF! error

    You need a multiplier between H18 and the open parenthesis... and you don't need SUM function (redundant)

    =((((C18-F18)/G18)/(H18*(1+(D18/100))))-1)*100
