Good afternoon all

Dividing the below, when the result is greater than 8 add .5 to the divisor and then divide the dividend by the new divisor.

That did what I asked.

However, in the second row example , is there a way to add whatever is needed to return 8. Similar to the goal seek function.

Thank You

Showing results and actual divisor.

Most likely did not explain correctly. I need the result to be 8 or less.

Th second row B2 would be 8.1762. Then when 65.41 is divided into this the result would be 8.

But you can't get 8.1762 by incrementally adding 0.5 to the original value of 5.25!

I have no idea what your requirements are any more. I thought I gave the answer in post #4 so you'll have to explain to me what's wrong with that and exactly what you want to achieve.

But column B has original values. If you want to change them then you need VBA. Post #6 has a solution that doesn't need VBA if you're happy to copy the values from column D to column B.

Man! I hate these shifting requirements! ;-)
