Hi,

if you have 100% of something and want to know how much 75% of this is (i.e. subtracting 25%). You multiply it by 75 and divide what you get on 100. That gives you the 75% value which means you have subtracted 25%.

If you want to make it easier you can multiply the 100% value by 0,75, which will give you the same answer (meaning that you divide 75% on 100 before you multiply.

Hope that was helpful(:

How do you deduct dates from excel formula?

I am not sure what you mean by "deduct," but I will interpret the meaning as "subtract." You subtract dates the same way you subtract any other number, but you result may not have meaning if you mix formats, such as subtracting a date from a percentage. If you have a formula in B1 that calculates a date and you want to subtract a date in A1, then put the following formula in C1: =B1-A1.
