I have the following cell data.
A2 = 108.59
B2 = 20%
C2 = 27.15

C2 has the following formula in it: =A2/(1-B2) - A2
this gives me the 27.15

What I want to do is have in D2 a hard value of 23.00 and then in E2 I want the % value based on the formula in C2.
IE - If C2 was 23.00, what would B2 be.

Can anyone help?
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
You are welcome.
Glad I was able to help!

Try this formula.

=1-A2/(D2+A2)
