Formula Dilemma


Posted by JOSEPH aNTHONY on December 17, 2001 10:38 AM

Formula help please!

What I am trying to accomplish is A2 is if starting capital is e.g., $25000 when it doubles to $50,000 in whatever cell then I would reduce or withdraw by 1/2 of original capital ($12,500 in this example) and would continue future calculations from that point or 2*A2- 1/2 of A2.
2*$25000=$50000- 1/2 of original capital =$12,500.
Then future calculations, next cell would calculate from capital of $50,000 -$12,500 = $37,500.

Thank you in advance,
JAC

Hi

Maybe this will get you started.

Lets say in A1 you have the starting capital.
In A2 you have the new total

In B1 type = if(A1*2>A2,0,A2-(A1*.5))
Fill this formula across for as many columns as you want.
