    Re: how to build the formula??

    sombody doesn't remember logarithms from school!!!

    b^y = x

    logb(x) = y

    change of base:
    y= ln(x) / ln(b)

    Specifics for excel here:
    = ln(400)/ln(1.15)


    EDIT:
    ...or you could use the LOG formula, that works too, probably even better, actually. (I often forget it exists because I habitually put things in ln(x)/ln(base) forms from my school days.)

    ah ben =LOG(400,1.15) is log of 400 to base 1.15 which will give the correct answer also
