assume my cost is 100
I add 10% as the profit margin which makes my sales price as 110
What is the excel function or formula to calculate the Maximum discount that can be given to sales price (110 ) to make it 100
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Not sure what you are after.
If you want to enter a price and see what percentage profit this might do
A1 = $100
B1 = any price you want to sell for
C1 = the percentage profit

Formula =SUM(B1-A1)/100
