RE: exell

Hi Hend,
Thank you for the question;
In answer; follow the acronym
BODMAS this will give you the sequence that Excel follows in processing a formula.
B=Brackets (Parenthesis)
O=Ordinals (To the power of ^)
D=Division
M=Multiplication
A=Addition
S=Subtraction

So therefore the sequence would be =B1*C1 then +A1
I hope that has helped ... Pete
