Cant find a way to calculate a percentage of only one specific cell into another cell. Im looking for a simple formula that take the value of a specific cell and multiply with for example 0.5 and then round it of.

Like this, perhaps?
=ROUND((A1*0.5),0)
where A1 contains the original value.

Get an Excel Error every time I try to do that. It seems to refer to the 0.5. It somehow aint a valid formula.
The formula is perfectly valid and works perfectly here. See it working below in D1. What sort of data do you have in A1? It needs to be a number.

Well, In my case its the M122 and its 60 kg, I tried remove the prefix at the end but it didnt solved the problem.
OK - try this:Originally Posted by Eazio
=ROUND(LEFT(A1,2)*0.5,0)
But you would be better having just a number in the cell. You have got text.
Hmm, It still wont work. To be more specific the Excel Error want me to choose a formula from one of their lists. I shouldnt have to change anything right? Just copypaste and enter?
Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.
Remember to desensitize the data.
Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
By the way, you might need to change commas to semi-colons for your locale - have you done that?
=ROUND((A1*0.5);0)
=ROUND(LEFT(A1,2)*0.5;0)
You will also need the Swedish names for the functions being used (ROUND and LEFT).
Forgott to change to the swedish equivalents and thought that would solve it all, nope. >< Tried both with and without the semi-colons.

Not quiet sure how to put this but here is a try.
Try this:
=ROUND(SUBSTITUTE(C5," kg","")*0.5,0)&" kg"
or in your case:
=ROUND(SUBSTITUTE(C5;" kg";"")*0.5;0)&" kg"
