See data set below, I need the lowest number represented as 1 and then the greater numbers show as less than one. I know this is easy and my brain is fried. TIA

0.923
0.963
0.978
1.033
1.035
1.040
1.048
1.073
1.077
1.085
1.095


So something like this

.923 1
.955 .984

and so on.

What you're asking for is unclear.

if number is minimum then he wants it equal to 1. if its larger than one then just the numbers to right of decimal. if number is less than 1 but greater than min, then just the number to the right of decimal.

am I close?

Why on all these things?

Why are you wanting this represented like so? What's the big picture? I may be able to help you there.

Why is your brain fried?

Simply make you a statement like this:
IF cell value is min of the range
display 1
else
display cell value - 1

Clearly you are new here. We got some SMART Mfers here. I'm an actual IT development nerd and some of these accountant and engineers here blow me away in Excel.

Inverse all the numbers. Then take the top number and subtravt that number by 1 to solve for X

X is going to be your number that you subtract each subsequent number to get the answer you are looking for.

I don't know how to do any of this in excel.
