i feel like i have done this a hundred times, but for whatever reason its not working for me...
i have a data table that looks like this:
<tbody>
</tbody>
all the RATE numbers are manually entered.
now, if i reference the 3.00% number under the RATE column to the INPUT cell that I entered when I setup the data table, this happens:
<tbody>
</tbody>
this is obviously not correct, it is the value for the entry above.
and...
if i make ALL of the RATE cells then relative to the 3.00% one... (in other words 2.00% is actually =A5-0.01 and 4% is actually =A5+0.01)
i get...
<tbody>
</tbody>
this is weird b/c the number for the first one and last one never change, but all the ones in-between change.
incidentally, the formula which is being solved is simply a 30k loan pmt for 10yrs ( =PMT(RATE/12,120,30000)*-1 )
i have a data table that looks like this:
RATE | Monthly |
289.68 | |
1.00% | 262.81 |
2.00% | 276.04 |
3.00% | 289.68 |
4.00% | 303.74 |
5.00% | 318.20 |
6.00% | 333.06 |
