    Need a Quotient of a multi division and addition series)

    Let us say we use H9:H15 and E9:E15

    I would like to Add H9:H15, Add 7, and divide this by 100
    ........SUM(H9:H15,7)/100

    I would like to Add E9:E15
    ........SUM(E9:F15)

    Simple so far, as we have =SUM(H9:I15,7)/100 +SUM(E9:F15)

    I would then like to add both sums together, divide by 10 and get the quotient.

    Since the formula is QUOTIENT(numerator,denominator), how can I put this entire series into one formula.

    I tried that before. It doesnt work.

    It is interpretting =SUM(H9:H15)/100 and SUM(E9:E15)/10 separately, then adding them.

    It is diving by the last 10 before it adds the SUM(E9.., I need it to add it all together first THEN divide by 10.

    I might simply have to some cells set aside to do the calculations separately. Thanks.

    Do you mean:

    (you could use QUOTIENT but INT would suffice here given denominator of 1)

    an approach similar to Ote without INT
    will give the right calculation
    this is the code:

    @noexcel=badwork, given reference to Quotient I have assumed OP is interested in the Integer result of the division.

    YES! This works Thanks, DonkeyOte.

    I knew how to make nested IFs, but not nested SUMs. With being so used to (((2+2)x4)+7), I tried coding the same way. SUM(SUM( is the key I was not aware of.

    Again many thanks!
