   I guess it depends on the values of cells B6 and C6.  =MOD(B6,C6) resolves   
   to 1 when B6 = 10 and C6 = 3 in Excel 2003 and 2010.  That's what I'd   
   expect.  It also worked fine when B6 and C6 were calculated based on other   
   cells.  It looks pretty good to me.   
      
   If B6 = "fred", it dies in the arse.  That's also what I'd expect.   
      
   What are you doing and what were you expecting?
