A lot of unnecessary abuse going on here.
Ya well unfortunately some people seem to always be having bad days and just get stuck in dickhead mode.

Stupid question but, whats the math to figure out how many coins I would need to sell to make say $58.27 if one whole BTC is worth $650 or even something like $587.23 ?

"Division".

If you didn't want people to idiofy you, because 'you'd had a hard day', could you not just have had a quick nap instead of posting on the forum?

Want to add this equation into an excel sheet for auto calculating.

So you wanted some people on a crypto-currency forum to take their calculators and do a simple division for you - and failed at it?
Poor you!

58.27 / 650 = 0.08964615 to eight decimal places

That's what I was after, I've had a very long day and am tired as all hell so please don't take the title to heart and think I'm an idiot which is what I kinda elt you were hintin at with your wording.

Surely you've been so damn tired that you forget simple shit.

In any event, Ty.

If you can't work this out on your own then I think it is likely that you aren't equipped to be speculating with bitcoin. You are going to make a poor decision and lose your coins.

bitcoin_val = 650
desired_return = 58.27
bitcoins_to_sell = desired_return / bitcoin_val

58.27 / 650 = 0.08964615 to eight decimal places

= "cell where desired amount is entered" / +"cell where api of current BTC/USD price is reported"

Surely that was not your question.
