It depends how you need to display the result. For example - say you have a list of five prices in column 1 starting at cell A10 - you want to show the amount of VAT charged (at 20%) in column 2 and the total price in column 3...

In cell B10 type the formula =sum(A10*0.20)

In cell C10 type the formula =sum(A10*1.20)

Then - copy both B10 & C10 together and paste them into cells B11 to B14 (inclusive) - if you've copied the conents of B10 & C10 - the folmula from C10 should copy down to C14.

As a test... type the following data into A10 to A14 respectively...

...A.........B.........C

27.10 - 5.42 - 32.52

12.51 - 2.50 - 15.01

11.81 - 2.36 - 14.17

36.42 - 7.28 - 43.70

19.87 - 3.97 - 23.84

Column A is your test data. Column B is the amount of VAT (at 20%) and Column C is the total including VAT. NOTE - the hyphens and dots in the table above are JUST for clarity !

You can change the figures in the formulae to any you want to.
