Is it possible to use an answer from a calculation in the same cell? Eg

Cell A £105

Cell B 0.05 discount

Cell C £105*0.05, ans-£105 = £99.75

I understand I could do it in 2 columns, but wanted to do it all in one calculation.

You can do this by simply expanding the 'ans' in the formula you already have by using brackets like this:

= (A1 * B1) - A1

supposing everything is in row 1.

  • or =A1*(B1-1)

    With either of the above, you're going to get a negative number out at the end. Just mentioning incase this could be a problem(?) Otherwise +1 for both answers
