The Radius I want to use cell "A1" and the Height cell "A2" and put the Answer in cell "A3". I have no clue so here is what I thought would work, I was wrong

"=QUOTIENT(=product(A1*A1*3.1416*A2*.0005787*.8035 64*56)/2000)"

Are there any suggestions? To make this true, what do I need to Change?

Thanks
The QUOTIENT function returns the integer portion of a division. That means that that you will have no decimal places at all. Drop the QUOTIENT part. I also don't see the need for PRODUCT in this instance.

I would, however use PI() instead of 3.1416. Pi is an Excel function. Also, you can square cell A1 by using A1^2 instead of A1*A1. (A1^3 would be A1 cubed, and so forth)

Try using:

"=A1^2*PI()*A2*0.0005787*0.803564*56/2000"
