    Annualize function

    I see a formula that our Human Resources Department is using to annualize voluntary turnover.

    It looks like this:

    =(E3/((A3+D3)/2))*12/months

    So if I substitute with some actual data:

    =(6/((22+33)/2))*12/months the answer becomes 21.8% (as the annualized voluntary turnover rate).

    What does the *12/months actually do mathematically? I cannot find it in the excel help files and have not been able to figure this out using math (on the calculator).

    months is a defined name. Do insert > Name > Define to see what it is.

    Where do I insert? Do I go anywhere on the page and type insert > months > define or do I put it in the formula (and with the spaces)? I've tried various combination's to no avail.

    It would be helpful if you added the version of Excel that you use to your profile.
