Formula For Wpm


Recommended Posts

I was just wondering what is the formula for words per minute and how to put it in a spreadsheet??

I my spreadsheet is like this so far:

A1= # of Words    B1= X

A2= WPM            B2= X

A3= Time            B3= Formula???

So B1, and B2 is the # of words and WPM.....

If anyone could tell me what to put in B3, that would be great!

The formula is, uh, words / minutes. How you handle the spreadsheet with depend on what software you're using and how you want to format the sheet. Here's an example I made in OpenOffice:

The equation for cell B3 is in the equation bar.

To get seconds you'd need to multiply the minutes by 60 to get seconds, then use modulus 60 to get the number of seconds.

Something like:

seconds = (time * 60) % 60

minutes = int(time / 60) providing int rounds down, otherwise you may need to do a floor(time) to eliminate the decimal

then minutes:seconds would be your output.

Hope that helps.
