How can you use the sumif formula to add up the cells in a range in column l if the corresponding cell in J is greater than 19?

To do the entire column, you would do it as follows:

=SUMIF(J:J,">19",I:I)

More likely it is just part of the column, say from row 2 to row 20. In that case the formula would be as follows:

=SUMIF(J2:J20,">19",I2:I20)

In both cases it is important that the formula is located outside of the ranges that are referred to in the formula.

Microsoft Word files saved as doc gets converted to .scr automatically So you have to save Word files in .rtf format How do you correct this?

You have probably been infected with the W32/Rungbu virus. Its recommended to run the Trend online scan (free) to remove this virus.

W32/Rungbu-A infects Microsoft Word DOC files by copying itself to the same filename but with an SCR extension, appending the DOC file to the SCR copy, and then hiding the original DOC file.

W32/Rungbu-A then sets the computer not to show hidden files (in order to hide the DOC file), to give SCR files a Word icon (so the SCR file looks like a Word file), and to hide file extensions (so the SCR file just displays the filename, not the SCR extension). When the SCR file is run, the Word document is displayed as normal. W32/Rungbu-A is a companion virus for the Windows platform.

What is the meaning and formula for deceleration?

Deceleration is the rate of decrease of velocity with respect to time. It is the negative of acceleration.

The formula for deceleration is the same as that of acceleration, only that the acceleration is represented as negative.

The formula is:

time

Therefore,

(deceleration) = (initial velocity) - (final velocity)

time

How do I calculate the payment amount needed to arrive at a known value if I know these variables Present value Future value Rate and that the payment will increase by a known percent each period?

You might be able to use the PMT function. It returns the payment amount for a loan based on an interest rate and a constant payment schedule. You can try different numbers of payments to see what different monthly payments are required.

Syntax: PMT(interest_rate,number_payments,PV,FV,Type)

interest_rate = interest rate

number_payments = number of payments

PV = present value (or principal)

FV (optional) = future value (if omitted, the assumed value is 0)

Type (optional) = indicates when the payments are due

0 = payments due at end of period (default or if not included)

1 = payments due at beginning of period
