I've Tried this formula "={(D3+D4+D5)-4}/8-F3-F4"



But the answer keeps coming up one more than is truly accurate



What I need to have my equation calculate is... (Cell Values - Actual Data)
The Sum of Cells: D3(3.5),D4(24.0),D5(3.75)
The Sum needs to have 4 Taken off it (27.25)
That Value Needs to be Divided By 8 (3.40625)
Then I want Cells F3(0.00) and F4(3.0) Subtracted from it...



IF Possible... Rounded to the closest whole number



Doing the Calculation Manually is obviously not my issue - But my Spreadsheet has Multiple Similar Calculations - And I was hoping to have/use a Formula to work them out for me...



Thanks!

The inner brackets are useless as you only subtract by 4 afterwards.



If you want to round, well use the function "round". If you want the closest full number, then round with ";0" at the end of the function. Besides that, your formula looks fine.

      I don't do Excel so idk their syntax, but brackets are your friend..



      (((D3+D4+D5)-4)/8)-F3-F4 would remove ambiguity, even though it's slight overkill.

      Maths operators will tend to do multiplication & division first; humans tend to do it in the order they read it [unless they're mathematicians;)
