What I'm trying to do seems to be pretty straightforward but I cannot figure out how to get the day of year correct. My research has shown me this formula over and over =DATE(year(A2),1,0) but it does not seem to work. It does not return a Number but instead returns a date.
I am simply wanting to take a dollar amount and divide it by the day of year in order to get an average spending amount per day. This formula does not work but this is what I am trying to do.
Cell K18 has a year to date dollar value lets say 450
In cell K20 I want to display a number that is "450 / (day of year)" to give me an daily spending rate. Simple.
Can not get this to work.
What should the formula look like?
