The formula contains reference(s) to field(s) error in sharepoint services

Asked by JudyBM in FrontPage-Expressions

Tags: formula, contains, sharepoint

Following the instructions in the Microsoft Sharepoint Services training book, I created a Sharepoint list in datasheet view and attempted to create a automated calculation of a column COST to create a 17.5% value of VAT in an alternative column.  The training book confirms the formulas are simular to Excel but when I try:

=[Cost]*0.75

I receive an error message of  'The formula contains reference(s) to field(s)'

I believe this should work, could someone advise me what I'm doing wrong?Start Free Trial
