A pretty simple question I guess. I am trying to make a template to do
material take offs for a construction company. I am trying to add 10-15% to
various cells. An example of what I am after.

A | B | C
1 100 =A1*(2+10%)
2
3
4

What I am getting is 200.1 when what I am expecting is 220 ... 100 * 2 = 200
+10% = 220.
What in my formula do I have wrong ?
 
I don't know how you get 200.1, I get 210 because 100*2 = 200 + 10% (of 100
NOT 200) = 210

Ok still not what I am after sorry. Let me try to explain better.
Let say for track its 10' long and I need one on bottom of wall and one on
top on my spreadsheet I would like to enter the lf of wall and it calculate
the ammount of track I need, cost plus 10% for waste

A1 = 100 lf wall
B1 = A1 * 2 "Now thats 200 cause I need track for top and bottom. From that
200 I need to add 10% for waste/extra/overhead/profit. so { 100 x 2 + 10% =
220 lf} Im good from here cause in another cell or what ever I can do 220/10
and it will let me know for the sectin I need 22 pieces of 10' track to build
a wall 100' long."

I just cant get it to give me 10% off of 100 x 2 if gives me 10% off of 100
which is not what I am after.

So A1 x 2 + and additional 10%

Thanks
 
I dont know why I get 200.1 ither why I am here. So is there a formula that
makes this correct?

A | B | c |
1 100 220
2

So what I am trying to get is 100 x 2 ... then an additional 10% off the 200
100 x 2 = 200 + 10% = 220
Can I do this in B2 somehow?
 
=A1*2+(A1*2*10%)

or

=A1*220%

Hi Johnny,

=A1*2*110%
or simpler
=A1*2*1.1

Should give you what you are after. Although that does seem to be an awkward
way to set up your spreadsheet. It appears to be a solution for one
particular
equation and not adjustable for different variables. Then again I can't see
your
data, or know the big picture of what you are trying to achieve.
