dividing in Excel
What function do I use to divide in Excel. For the life of me, I cannot figure this out.
In anticipation of a possible response to my inquiry, it is not possible to convert this into a multiplication function. To explain, I am dealing with dynamic numbers. Specifically, I am dealing with grades. Therefore, if I enter a new grade, both the total earned points increases and the total available points increases.

Sorry, I probably made it more complex than it actually is. All I need to do is divide the number in one cell (which is reached at by using a "Sum" function) by the number in another cell (which is also reached at by using a "Sum" function).Thanks,Abach508

Just use a forward slash / for division. If you use a backward slash \ you get integer division508

But what if the numbers are in two different cells, and I want the result in a third cell?508
