    Dividing by base 6

    Hi,

    I have a spreadsheet (cricket if this helps!) where numbers with a decimal point have to work in base 6 (as opposed to base 10). For instance counting from 22 to 23 would go,

    22
    22.1
    22.2
    22.3
    22.4
    22.5
    23

    The problem I have is that I need to divide this number into another number (runs conceded per over) and retain a base 6 answer. So for instance:

    83 divided by 22.5 = 3.63 (in base 6)

    and not

    83 divided by 22.5 = 2.68 (in base 10)

    Can anyone help me with this? I have just noticed after some time that many of my figures are wrong because i didn't account for it. They are only slightly out, but it's important!

    Thanks

    Not clear which version you're using... if you're running pre XL2007 and want to avoid Analysis ToolPak then:

    =A1/(INT(B1)+MOD(B1,1)/0.6)

    else if you have ATP activated

    =A1/DOLLARDE(B1,6)

    where A1 holds runs conceded and B1 overs bowled
