Hello, Can someone tell me the formula to enter for the following equation? Thanks!

Here is a snapshot, hope this helps:

I have 500.00 dollars in one cell and want to divide it by two whole numbers in other cells.... for e.g.


$500.00 (Cell A) divided by
number 54 (Cell B) plus
number 87 (Cell C) plus
number 3 (Cell D)
= Total $dollars or cents

This is what I've tried =SUM(CellA)/CellB,CellC,CellD... but it doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
I don't think your "snapshot" is doing any justice to what you may want.

Maybe this, for the first part of your post. Although you say "divide by two numbers", but your example formula has three:
I have 500.00 dollars in one cell and want to divide it by two whole numbers in other cells.... for e.g.


$500.00 (Cell A) divided by
number 54 (Cell B) plus
number 87 (Cell C) plus
number 3 (Cell D)
= Total $dollars or cents

This is what I've tried =SUM(CellA)/CellB,CellC,CellD... but it doesn't work.

Nalani, I appreciate your help. :bow:

What if the Cells of B, C, and D are not consequtive, for e.g.

Would it be: =A1/SUM(B2,C53,E8) ?

Thanks again!

Would it be: =A1/SUM(B2,C53,E8)

It does not hurt to try this out - it gives more satisfaction if you find the answer yourself rather than getting the answer from someone here.

Yes, that should work too.
