    Re: Why is excel calculating percentages in thousands? This is quite frustrating

    In the Excel file, the value in Sem straight X Y7 is 1.15. The value in Z7 is 0.5. The formula in AA7 multiplies those two values together then divides by 100, which results in 0.00575 (0.575%).

    In the Google Sheets file, the value in Y7 is 1.15, the value in Z7 is 50. The same formula in AA7 results in 0.575 (57.5%).

    The difference between the two files appears to be the value in Z7. From there, I'm not sure what you want to do with the difference.

    In both sheets, the commission column contains the formula =#N/A. That's probably about as much help as I can be, since I cannot see how you intend to calculate these commissions.

    What difficulties do you anticipate in these formulas? In my experience, commissions are usually a simple percentage of another value, so the formula is usually a simple multiplication formula.

    did you see daily poker sessions in 5-13-2024 pokersstake file.
    should be calculated percentage sold * buy-in and total cost+fee which is the commison $1.62
    in Sem straight X i have formula =W7*Z7-AB7 but not sure why shows $1,067.58
    in daily poker sessions sheet formula =((J10*I10)-L10)*-1 shows $1.62
    may be simple formula or math, but i am horrible with numbers or math. which i wouln't know how to solved it myself.

    As Mr. Shorty pointed out the issues are with Investor share and Investor % purchased.
    Investor share should be 50% not 50.
    Investor % purchased should have the formula: =Y7*Z7
    The commission formula should be: =-(W7*Z7-AB7)
