Excel Formula to work out net cost using UK vat rate
Hello, I am very bad at maths. I made a spread sheet which would take a gross cost and then work out the net cost, based on the 17.5% vat rate. Here is an example... =SUM(K7/100)*117.5 How can I change this to the 20% rate we now have? If I put: =SUM(K7/100)*20.0 It does not like it. Any help would be great :money:
