What is wrong with my Formula?

Which program are using to develop the code? "Too many arguments" is an error that simply means that you are using many functions in the same statement and therefore leaving the application that you are using a bit 'confused' now how to handle them. Like in the example code that you have pasted above, you will notice that you have used brackets a lot of times and brackets imply that you are carrying out multiplication, there is also a subtraction, division, ratio and match all being carried out in the same statement. You will therefore need to divide the statement so that it is solved in bits and make the computer understand your statement.
