what is Bodmas

RE: excel 2007

Hi Ntashie,

Thank you for your post, welcome to the forum;

In answer to your question:

Always consider BODMAS when you enter formulas, this is the sequence that Excel follows when it calculates a formula

BODMAS stands for:

B=() Brackets - Anything in Brackets will be calculated from the innermost set first
O=^ Ordinals - To specify the exponent =2^3, which means 2 raised to the third power.
D=/ Division - To divide numbers =A1/A2
M=* Multiplication - To multiply numbers =A1*A2
A=+ Addition - To add numbers =A1+A2
S=- Subtraction - To subtract numbers =A1-A2

I hope that has helped. Regards Pete

Excel tip:

Hide columns in an Excel 2010 Worksheet

If you don’t want part of the Excel worksheet to be visible or when you don’t want certain data to appear in print outs, then a simple solution is to temporarily hide a column or multiple columns.

Hiding a single column:

1)Right click on the column header of the column you want to hide (this is the grey bar along the top edge of the worksheet)
2)Choose Hide from the menu
3)This column will now be hidden from view

Hide more than one column:

1)In the column header drag select to highlight the columns you want hidden
2)Right click and choose Hide from the menu
