Create Functions in word 2003?

**mostli** · 10-06-2009, 10:05 AM

Hi,

I am trying to find a function in word 2003.
What I want to do is:

In my word doc i want to have a "box" or something with a already done formula. if I have a item that cost 20 kr and weighs 100 g, I would be able to put in first price then Weight in this function and then get the Price/KG.

In excel i would do something like Price/Weight*1000 = Price in KG.

But how do I get this, if it´s possible in a "Box" to Word?

Thanks!

Check Word help for this:

Perform calculations in a table

and then use something like: =a1/b1*1000

Mmm...

How do I use cell´s formulas in Word?

If I have it like this:
Price Weight Price/KG
#DIV/0!

Then you just need to put in Price and Weight and you will get the price/KG.
This needs to be a "living" formula.

No problem in Excel but I can´t get it to work in Word...

Per Excel Help:

Note Word inserts the result of the calculation as a field in the cell you selected. If you change the values in the referenced cells, you can update the calculation by selecting the field and then pressing F9.

Note Microsoft Word table (table: One or more rows of cells commonly used to display numbers and other items for quick reference and analysis. Items in a table are organized into rows and columns.) calculations must be manually recalculated. Consider using Microsoft Excel to perform complex calculations.

Perhaps you should consider Excel or maybe somebody can devise a VBA macro for you?
