Hello to all, and thanks for allowing me a place to solve my Excel conundrums -
I'm self taught in Excel through trial & error, and reading through forums like this for answers, albeit far from a skilled user. Unfortunately, I can't find anything specific to what I'm trying to accomplish here.
I run an automotive service department, and I've created a parts and labor "calculator" that (hopefully) will make things easier once figured out. It figures gross profit, based on sale price and parts & labor cost, then distributes the profit percentages equally. I'm having a problem figuring out the correct formulas and/or cell content to get the part's charge to stay relative with the part's cost - For example, a $.70 part will come out to $5.00 or more at times. The labor always comes out perfect though, because there is only one labor charge.
I've attached my working file for reference and use. I'm sure there are easier formulas to use for some of this, but I've gone with what I know. Don't hold back if you have any suggestions on making what I already have easier. It is protected, but with no password. Any and all help is greatly appreciated, and if there are any questions please let me know.
