    Excel formula problem

    A simple approach is to name the values to match the column. If C12 is the value in column C, row 12, , then let v = C12 Similarly, let d = C8. Now prepare the equation using those values directly. Check each component and the first answer .

    Cost for developing in a flood plain

    One alternative is to select one acre, 2 acres and 5 acres. Select the site or sites based on the greatest cost (low elevation, high water surface, large area inundation, etc). Prepare a strategy to improve the area with fill, FEMA LOMR (with fill) etc. Request bids for each project. This is...
