    Gross Margin

    I am in excel and I know how to get the margin and the margin will change if I change the price but I'm not sure how I can get the price to change if I change the margin. Any Ideas? B2 - Cost C2 - Price D2 - % of Margin
    This is the formula I have in there for % Margin =(C2-B2)/C2
    Thanks for your help!

    Re: Gross Margin

    The formula for C2 Price would be
    =B2/(1-D2)

    But you can't do them both with formulas you'll have a circular reference.
    To use either option off the same 3 cells you'll have to use VBA.

    VBA would be beneficial if these were columns of cost price & margin. You could use a Worksheet_Change event to trigger either price or margin.

    In "C2" enter formula :

    Before entering "C2" formula you need to do below. Because of circular reference.
    >click the Microsoft Office Button Office button image , click Excel Options, and then click the Formulas category.
    >In the Calculation options section, select the Enable iterative calculation check box. On the Mac, click Use iterative calculation.
    >Click "ok"
    Refer attach file.

    AVK:
    Barbara's formula is correct. She is calculating MARGIN. You are calculating MARKUP.
