Divide one column by another

Hi

I have 2 columns, both which have numerical values in them. I have a third column in which I want the product of dividing the first column by the second. I have tried this formula.

Loose the equal.

 

Take the equal out

Hi

Thanks, that worked

However, I would like the answer to come to several decimal places, how can I do that?
