    Same formula 2 different outcomes

    I have a formula, =LN(C4/C5)*C2*C3, and I decided to move it and change the referencing cells, so it became =LN(G2/G3)*C2*C3, it's the exact same numbers but I'm getting completely different answers. How is that possible?

    C4 & G2 = 5.9
    C5 & G3 = 3.9
    C2 = 345
    C3 = 9.807

    The first formula = 1401 & the second = 2177

    Any help would be appreciated.

    EDIT: I just noticed my mistake, I'm using G2 and G3 and I should have G2 and H2. sorry but I cant find the delete button

    I get 1401 in both cases. You must have something wrong in the second formula. Post your sheet.

    Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.
