Wouldn't you have to somehow reference the cell that contains the formula?

Do an Internet search on the following.  Type it exactly as shown."excel use formula from another cell"I think the function you are looking for is:=GetFormula(A1)Where (A1) is the cell the formula is located in.

You can have your spreadsheet checked at any Excel Help forum.  I do not, as a habit, post my email address, except on rare occasions and usually only to review AutoCAD drawing files.  Sorry.

C4=(B4-$D$4)*10+$D$4

 
that's your answer. To lock the cell of one of the formula's entities, you need the dollar signs. if you put the cursor in the D4 text and press F4 key, then it will put the dollar $igns in for you automatically, fyi...
