Then maybe in G2 enter:
=IF(F2="X",D2+(E2*4),0)
copy down as required.

Hope this helps

Mr. Phillips,
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, my original description was too
simplistic. The precise operation I need to do for the row of expense data
of which the cell in column F contain an "X" is, "=D?+(E?*4)" with "?"
representing the # of the row that contains the "X" in column F.

Assuming the x in column F, expense data in D & E, then

=SUMPRODUCT((F2:F20="x")*(D2:E20))

I have a 3 column table with 20 rows. The first two columns contain

travel

expense data. The cells in the third column are blank exept for whichever
cell I enter an "x" in. Please let me what formula or worksheet function

do

I use to calculate the travel expenses based on the data in the first two
columns that correspond to the row of the cell with an "x" in the third
column?

Thank You!
