I have a problem: i have to write this
((1/(1+0.38))^2)*2.678
((1/(1+0.38))^3)*1234.445
[....]
for 100 times but i don't knw how to do that. is there any kind of
formula or option to do that?? the dragging stuff doesn't work
If you want a column of formulas of that form, and the constants 2.678,
1234.445 etc are in B3:B102 for example, then put the following formula into
C4, for example, and copy (or drag) down through C103:
=B3 / (1+0.38)^(ROW(B3)-ROW($B$3)+2)
However, if your intent is to sum the resulting column (ostensibly C4:C103),
you could write the following single array formula:
=B3:B102 / (1+0.38)^(ROW(B3:B102)-ROW(B3)+2)
Note that an array formula is committed by pressing ctrl+shift+Enter instead
of Enter. If you make a mistake, you can press F2, then press
ctrl+shift+Enter. An array formula will be displayed with curly braces
around it in the Formula Bar, i.e. {=formula}.
And if your intent is to sum the series, you could use the NPV function if
you can prefix the column of constants with a cell containing zero; for
example, 0, 2.678, 1234.445 etc in B2:B102. Then the sum is simply:
=NPV(0.38, B2:B102)
Change the format if you do not want Currency.
