Hey,

Does anyone know how to take a number and find a percentage of it. Then have that percentage subtracted by the number. For example, I have 100000 and I want to find 25% of this number and then have it subtracted off the 100000. So in exel it would say 750000. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
<TABLE style="WIDTH: 183pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=244><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" span=2 width=64><COL style="WIDTH: 87pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 4242" width=116><TBODY><TR style="HEIGHT: 12.75pt" height=17><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #f0f0f0; BORDER-LEFT: #f0f0f0; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 48pt; HEIGHT: 12.75pt; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0" height=17 width=64 align=right>100000</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #f0f0f0; BORDER-LEFT: #f0f0f0; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 48pt; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0" class=xl63 width=64 align=right>25%</TD><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #f0f0f0; BORDER-LEFT: #f0f0f0; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; WIDTH: 87pt; BORDER-TOP: #f0f0f0; BORDER-RIGHT: #f0f0f0" class=xl64 width=116> 75,000.00 </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
