Thanks CLR I have printed your reply and gonna spend some time trying to
understand and play with it, It used to be easier when I was a lot younger
now its enjoyable but frustrating, I love doing spreadsheet stuff but the
brain aint what it used to be..ooooo to be young again. :-)

You're welcome Scudo.................
My formulas were just basic IF statements, =IF(I8=1,150,IF(I8=2,125,""))
in
M7 .....(IF I8 equals 1, then return 150, otherwise, IF I8 equals 2, then
return 125 otherwise leave the cell blank.)

and =IF(I8=2,125,"") in M8.....(IF I8 equals 2, then return 125, otherwise
leave the cell blank)........

Both were then wrapped in TEXT statements to display the leading POUND
sign..."CHAR(163)".

If you wanted to do further math with the now TEXT results, you could
strip
out the number part to multiply the result by 2 with...........
=MID(M7,FIND(CHAR(163),M7,1)+1,99)*2...which says, in M7, find the
POUNDsign
and go to the back side of it " the +1", and take the next 99 characters
and
multiply by 2.....of course there's only 3 more characters so it takes
them
all.

And you can put the POUND sign back in with CONCATENATION.........

=CHAR(163)&MID(M7,FIND(CHAR(163),M7,1)+1,99)*2

Clever! `It works` and for the life of me I can`t (couldn`t ever never,
old
time! or new time!) understand either of them. I look at the formulas
and
try and work out how they work. I don`t know what they feed you guys on
but
it sure seems to work, keep eating the stuff :-)

and thanks for your help
really do appreciate it.

That's very clever RD........I've never seen it done like that.

I would have just used the old time
=TEXT(IF(I8=1,150,IF(I8=2,125,"")),CHAR(163)&"000" ) in M7
and =TEXT(IF(I8=2,125,""),CHAR(163)&"000") in M8.

Try this:

In M7:
=(I8=1)*150+125*(I8=2)

In M8:
=125*(I8=2)

In cell I8 I put a 1 or 2
If I put 1 then I want cell M7 tp show £150
If I put 2 then i want cell M7 to show £125 and cell M8 to show £125

As a variation if its easier I would be happy with cell I8
If I put 1 then I want cell M7 tp show £150
If I put 2 then i want cell M8 to show £100, as either way it
would
show
a
total of £250


thanks
