> Hi All,
>
> I need some help on creating a formula.
>
> I am currently checking the VAT num of our customer and would like to have
> a formula which check the Validity and return a VALID or NOT VALID in a
> cell.( see excel file ).
>
> VAT registration numbers should be tested as follows:
>
>    1. The *first seven digits* of the VAT registration number are *listed
>    vertically*
>    2. Each digit is multiplied by a number, starting with 8 and decreasing
>    to 2.
>    3. The sum of the multiplications is calculated.
>    4. *97* is subtracted from the sum as many times as is necessary to
>    arrive at a negative number.
>    5. The negative number should be the same as the last 2 digits of the
>    VAT registration number if it is valid.
>
> *Example*
>
> VAT registration number *GB339072747*
> 3 *8 = 24
> 3 *7 = 21
> 9 *6 = 54
> 0 *5 = 0
> 7 *4 = 28
> 2 *3 = 6
> 7 *2 = 14
>
> Total = 147
>
> 147 - 97 = 50 - 97 = - 47
>
> As the negative number(- 47) is the same as the last two digits of the VAT
> number, the number is valid.
> I have attached an xls file where u can add the formula.
>
> Thanks so much for your help
> Regards
