take a look at evaluate formula under formula tab in the formula auditing group....it steps through how Excel works through a formula

sqrt is the square root.
what the 2.20452, 10.518 or the first 10.9 are, only the person who created the worksheet would know.
basically formulas go through each step as it comes. kind of like an algebra problem. seeing as there is no parenthesis, it will go step by step from the beginning of hte formula.
Hi
Thanks for your reply, but my knolage is very poor and i can not understand this part +(2*sqrt(10.9)-2*sqrt(g13))
+(2*sqrt(10.9)-2*sqrt(g13))
Simpy expressed:-
plus ((2 times (square root of 10.9) minus (square root of G13)) (lets assume G13 is 9)
plus (2 times (3.3015) minus ( 3 )
plus 6.6030 minus 3
plus 3.6030
Formulas like this rely on BODMAS:-
Brackets Of Divide Multiply Add Subtract
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th ("inner" brackets first)
Does this help ?

if at first you don't succeed try doing it the way your wife told you to
that is not trueseeing as there is no parenthesis, it will go step by step from the beginning of the formula
1+3+4*2 = 12
not 16 as that statement infers

I referred to BODMAS in my earlier comment.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of confusion over this topic.
Not that I want to add to the confusion, but:-
We all have access to a standard and scientific calculator on our computers (in Accessories).
On a standard calculator enter 1+3+4*2 and it will "calculate" and show the anwer as 16.
On a scientific calculator enter 1+3+4*2 and it will "calculate" and show the answer as 12.
(which ties in with my earlier statement regarding BODMAS - and MartinDWilson's earlier comment).
If you don't believe me try it yourself.

martin, my bad. multiplication would come first
