Hi Guys.
This is my first time here at Askme and I am hoping that you will be able to help.
I am currently trying to make a spreadsheet where I will be able to calculate discounted rate(in a percentage)
This is what I am looking to achieve -
Unit Price Sold Price Discount %
250 100 40%
=(Sold Price/Unit Price)*100
However I keep getting incorrect figures when I have figures more than 3 figures
Unit Price Sold Price Discount %
1500 200 13.3%
Obviousy my discount is not 13%
And Finally - when I input the following example
Unit Price Sold Price Discount %
250 250 100%
Is there anyway that I can sound proof this formulae which will take into consideration what I am trying to achieve?
Thank you in advance for any help
A rather tired
