Hello,
Hi,
In an Excel table:
D23 (Excluding VAT Price) = 100.00 €
C23 (Markup) = 30% (which is a coefficient of 1.429 for the example)
B23 (Excluding VAT Selling Price) = 142.86 €
How can I make it so that when I enter my markup rate (10, 20, 30, or any rate) it gives me the result in B23 as if I had applied the coefficient?
Currently, my formula gives me 130.00 € in B23, which is not correct. It actually makes a markup of 23.08%.
Thank you

No, 1.429 is equal to 30% markup, not margin, don't confuse them.
So when I want my 30%, I multiply by 1.429
In detail:
100 x 1.429 = 142.86 which is 30% markup
100 + 30% = 130 which is 23.08% markup
The margin rate and markup rate are not the same ;-)

There is a slight contradiction in the statement...
And, 130% is equal to 100 x 1.30!!!
I don't know what the markup rate is, by the way, and I don't care.
But:
- your reasoning or your data is wrong,
- you didn't tell me when it's due...
I need to find €142.86 with a 30% MARK-UP (and not margin)
So yes, for a 30% margin you multiply by 1.30
But for a 30% mark-up you multiply by 1.429
I'm going to repeat myself, but you must not confuse the two.
Thank you
