[Solved] Is there a way to do that?

Post by xamlet »

Hi guys,
i'm not exactly the newbie with OO but today i got a problem to find a solution.

so I have a cells with simple math operations like a*b+c*d+e*f i need them shown on table and in the next cell i need to have sum from that. I tryed alot of things but with no success i would be very happy if someone can show me a decision of my problem. Maybe its a really stupid question but i didn't find any way to make it run.

Thanks in advice

Can you give us an example? I am not clear on what you want summed.

If in
A1: =1*100+2*50+3*25
in
A2: =FORMULA(A1)

it is not the exactly what i needed but its a step in right direction
for me it would be the best thing to have A1 with 1*100+2*50+3*25 without "=" and than to have it calculated in A2
but anyway hope that will helps me alot
Thanks

Code: Select all

=RIGHT(FORMULA(A2);LEN(FORMULA(A2))-1)

I think I understood! You will need an analog of function EVAL()?
