Hi All,

I am trying to use formulae for a trading calculator which uses a minimum working amount (A2:A12) of $30 and increments it to 10 percent once it is over $500. It then calculates profits F2:F12 based on wins (C2:C12) or losses (C2:C12).

This works fine when I am using a test balance (G2:G12) to calculate the amount (A2:12) and the dividends (F2:F12) but when I try to change the test balance (G2:G12) as is shown the actual balance values (I2:I12) by adding the result as shown in the formula of the actual balance (H2:H12), the starting value (A2:A12) seems to loop and returns a zero value in the test balance (G2:G12). How can I use the actual balance even thought the amount and return are based on this value?

As mentioned above I have included the formula values in the adjacent field to assist. Is there a better way of doing this which is Excel friendly?

Hope you can help.

Thanks, Hanuman.

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.
