Hi!

Here's one way:

=IF(B1="","",IF(B1="Weekly",A1*52,A1*12))

Assume that the dropdown is in column B and the value to
multiply is in column A.

I have a spreadsheet that needs to calculate the annual
cost of a service
based on whether the metric is weekly or monthly. For
example, one column
has a flat rate; the next column has a pulldown list with
the options
"Weekly" or "Monthly;" the last column is for annual
cost. This last column
should check to see if the value of the second column
is "Weekly" or
"Monthly" and calculate the annual cost accordingly... If
it's weekly, then
the last column should multiply the first column by 52,
but if it's monthly,
then the last column should multiple the first column by
12.

How do I do this???

TIA,
Stan
