Hi,

I have a spreadsheet where I have column A and column B.

In column A I want a price with V.A.T (=B1*1.25) and in column B i want a price without V.A.T (=A1*0.8).

What I mean with that is that if I enter a value in column B I want Excel to automatically fill in the value in column A.
And if I enter a value in column A I want Excel to automatically fill in the value in column B.

Can you get this type of cross referencing to work in any way?

Probably a noob question but couldn't find anything on Google or at least I'm not searching for the right terms...

Appreciate your help!

Hi Adam,

With formulae you're always going to run into issues with circular references.

You could use a 'WorksheetChange_Event in VBA though:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If IsNumeric(Target.Value) And Target.column = 1 then Target.offset(0,1) = Target.Value *1.25

    If IsNumeric(Target.Value) And Target.column = 2 then Target.offset(0,-1) = Target.Value *0.8

End Sub

Just paste that into the code window of the relevant worksheet​ (i.e. NOT in a module).

EDIT: I actually got the 1.25 and the 0.8 the wrong way round, but you get the idea.

Cheers
JB
