    Reverse calculation

    Hi,

    I need to make a reverse calculation based on a few formulas like below.

    I have this datas starting with A1:

    A B C D E F G
    1 gross som cas cass deduct imp net
    2 2200 11 231 121 320 243 1594

    Formulas:

    B2 = A2*0.5%
    C2 = A2*10.5%
    D2 = A2*5.5%
    E = 320 (fixed value for all)
    F = (A2-B2-C2-D2-E2)*16%
    G2 = A2-B2-C2-D2-F2


    What i need is to put a value in G3 (ex: 2200) and to find the values in A3, B3, C3, D3, E3, F3.

    Can this be done?

    Thank you kindly,
    Puiuluipui

    Sorry mate, You have got too many unknowns. You could approach with Goal Seek but not sure
    if I can provide you a formula that would work.

    Re: Reverse calculation

    i think it is doable but what is the deduct amount, is that fixed (you have no formula for it)?

    EDIT: does it even factor in to the final amount? it doesn't appear to.

    Re: Reverse calculation

    Hi,
    Yes, the deduct is the fixed 320 value.
    The 320 value, along others is used for the imp value.

    Thank you.

    Re: Reverse calculation

    Looks like you got your answer. It isn't against forum rules to help someone with homework but it defeats the purpose of homework to have others do it for you. I was just going to give you this and tell you to solve for A3 (hoping it is an accurate reflection of the formulas that went into your result)
    a3=2200+[(a3)-{(a3)*(.005)}+{(a3)*(.105)}+{(a3)*(.055)}+{a3-{((a3)*(.005))-((a3)*(.105))-((a3)*(.055))-320}*.16}]
    and finish with a hint that your value in cell A3 is 3063.

    Re: Reverse calculation

    I was working on this, in the background, while everyone else was producing their solutions ... so you might as well have it:


    B2: =A2*0.5%
    C2: =A2*10.5%
    D2: =A2*5.5%
    E2: 320
    F2: =(A2*(1-0.5%-10.5%-5.5%)-E2)*16%
    G2: =(A2*(1-0.5%-10.5%-5.5%))*(1 - 16%) + E2*16%
    H2: =(G2-E2*16%)/(1 - 16%)/(1-0.5%-10.5%-5.5%)


    G2=(A2*(1-0.5%-10.5%-5.5%))*(1 - 16%) + E2*16%
    G2-E2*16% = (A2*(1-0.5%-10.5%-5.5%))*(1 - 16%)
    (G2-E2*16%)/(1 - 16%) = (A2*(1-0.5%-10.5%-5.5%))
    (G2-E2*16%)/(1 - 16%) = A2*(1-0.5%-10.5%-5.5%)
    (G2-E2*16%)/(1 - 16%)/(1-0.5%-10.5%-5.5%) = A2
