The original cost of the television is equal to the sale price of the television divided by the decimal multiplier. What did it cost before the sale?ġ00% – 10% = 90% so following the 10% discount, the television is at 90% of its original price. The sale price of the television is $990. To find an original number after a percentage change, divide the new number by the decimal multiplier The trick for finding reverse percentagesįor example: A television is on sale with a 10% discount. Divide this new percentage by 100 to make the decimal multiplier.If the percentage change is an increase, add it to 100% or if the percentage change is a decrease, subtract it from 100%.Divide the new amount by the decimal multiplier.
You can apply formatting to a number field by double clicking the field name, selecting customize field type, and then formatting.All percentage changes can be reversed to find an original amount. Note that for the examples above, the output of a formula can initially be a plain number string, and not have any formatting. You'll need a field to track hours ( number field), another to track wages ( currency field), and a final field ( formula field) to enter as a formula. Multiplyingįor example, let's say you'd like to calculate the total wages for a team of hourly staff. Airtable is a relational database so formulas are applied for the entire field (column) so that the same formula applies to every record in that field. In a spreadsheet, you can put a formula in any cell, and have it reference any other cell in the sheet. This article covers how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide using a formula field. If you're new to Airtable and are ready to start building out formulas, you'll notice that formulas in Airtable are slightly different from traditionally spreadsheet programs like Excel or Google Sheets.
