Hello.i have the solution you send me but i am trying to understand where did you get the calculations for in the worknotes tabel.

I did my own calculation but i dont get the same answer.

For example for year 2 for project A you have 39.8597

How did you get to that without using the formula in excel.

I need to write down the actual numbers.

I got 22.3214 some im not sure how you got to that number.

Can you help me please?

Thank you
