    =SUM Within a SQRT Formula

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to write a formula to find the square root of a =sum formula, within the same formula.

    =SUM(AD8*AD8+AD9*AD9+AD10*AD10+AD11*AD11+AD12*AD12) - I'm trying to find the square root of the total of this.

    So I tried:

    =SQRT((=SUM(AD8*AD8+AD9*AD9+AD10*AD10+AD11*AD11+AD12*AD12)

    ... But that didn't work.

    Anyone know where I'm going wrong?

    Re: =SUM Within a SQRT Formula

    In what way did it not work? Did you get an error message, or an answer that is obviously wrong?

    You need to amend your formula like this:

    =SQRT(SUM(AD8*AD8+AD9*AD9+AD10*AD10+AD11*AD11+AD12*AD12))

    Hope this helps.

    Pete
