RE: Excel VAT function!!

Hi Laura,

Thank you for your post.

I am not aware of a particular function in Excel called VAT, however you can create something similar.

By entering a value in a particular cell which you can name VAT; using the name box (highlight the cell, click in the Name box and type VAT, press Enter), this cell is now named VAT)

Any entries in this cell would be the value for VAT (eg 1.175 to give the value including VAT or 0.175 just to show the VAT element) thereafter you can relate to that cell anywhere in the Workbook by using a formula such as =A1*VAT - select B1 and enter this formula, where A1 is the figure which you wish to find the Vat of, VAT is the name of the cell in which you have entered the VAT value.

Hope that helps,
regards Pete


 

Excel tip:

Changing Excel file and worksheet defaults

The appearance of any new Excel files or any new worksheets that are inserted into a file are controlled by two template files, Book.xlt and Sheet.xlt.

By opening, modifying and saving these templates you can change the default settings for all new files and/or all newly inserted sheets.

Use Book.xlt to make change to defaults for new workbooks; and Sheet.xlt to change defaults for sheets.

If you can't find either of these files on your computer, you can create and save them yourself.

You can do this simply by creating a new workbook with the setting you want to use as your defaults; then saving them with the appropriate name in the XLStart folder. If you are using Office 2003, this is usually found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\XLStart.
