I saw the forum on the Mod 10 check digit and attempted to alter the formula to fit my needs, but yeah...I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree. Plus my numbers are 38 bytes long, which can cause some problems.

For this Mod 10 check digit, for those not familiar, you follow a multiplication sequence beginning with the last digit. The last is multiplied by two, the next is by one, the next is by two, then one, then two, and so on until you're at the first digit. (2x1x2x1x2x1x2)

When you come across a digit that will provide a 2 digit answer (ie a 9 would give an answer of 18) you need to separate the two digits and add them together. (2x9 = 18 = 1+8 = 9)

You then need to add up all of your new digits, divide the total by 10, and subtract the remainder from 10 to get the coveted check digit that I'm after. (67 / 10 = 6 r7 = 10 - 7 = check digit of 3)

I appreciate any help on this one guys. Thanks!

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Hi
Welcome to the board

From your description I assumed that for example for 3596 you have

6 * 2 = 12 = 1+2 = 3
9 * 1 = 9
5 * 2 = 10 = 1+0 = 1
3 * 1 = 3

Sum = 3 + 9 + 1 + 3 = 16

Mod 10 Check Digit = 20 - 16 = 4

If this is not the correct algorithm please explain it a little more and, VERY IMPORTANT, always post for any question some examples with the input and the expected output so that we can test the final solution.

If this is the correct algorithm, write in B2

Code:
=MOD(10-MOD(SUM(IF(MOD(ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2))),2),2*MID(A2,1+LEN(A2)-ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2))),1)-9*(--MID(A2,1+LEN(A2)-ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2))),1)>=5),--MID(A2,1+LEN(A2)-ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A2))),1))),10),10)
This is an array formula and so MUST be entered with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER and not just ENTER.
Copy down

Please check it.

I did some examples and it seems OK (for this algorithm).

Hope this helps
