Is this idea correct? If so, what you would want to enter in either A1 or D1 is: =B1 * C1 * 0,8 If you want to be able to change the percentage quickly you should enter it in a separate cell before your actual data. Say your percentage entry is in cell A1, then the formula changes as follows: =B1 * C1 * $A$1 The $ signs fix the entry for the cell, so if you copy the formula to other cells, the reference for A1 stays the same, while B1 and C1 change.

Is this idea correct? If so, what you would want to enter in either A1 or D1 is: =B1 * C1 * 0,8 In the United States this equation is = B1 * C1 * 0.8 (Sigrid lives in a part of the world where the use of commas and periods is the opposite of how the US does it. We write 1,003.25. and Others write 1.003,25. These numbers are the same. Hope this helps too.)
