Default Complicated question...

Hi!

You need to create a 4 column table that lists all the variables:

Assume the table is on Sheet2 in the range A1:D4

Height.....Depth.....Width.....Price
.....1............1.............1..........10
.....1.5.........1.............1.........10.50
.....1.5.........1.5..........1.5.......12.50
......2............1............1..........15

Then you can have 3 cells for the input on Sheet1:

A1 = Height = 1.5
A2 = Depth = 1
A3 = Width = 1

The formula for the price:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet2!A1:A4=A1),--(Sheet2!B1:B4=A2),--(Sheet2!C1:C4=A3),Sheet2!D1:D4)

You can even get "fancy" and give each one of the variable columns of the
table a descriptive defined name then the formula could look like this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Height=A1),--(Depth=A2),--(Width=A3),Price)

I have a spreadsheet that accepts three inputs, height, depth and width.
With these inputs our costs are calculated and the end result i am
interested in is the price. This spreadsheet only works though for
individual inputs of each variable, meaning i have to manually enter
each value to get a price.

I want to create a table that will have multiple variables of height,
depth and width and calculate and report the price in this table. How
do I do this? I am not an expert at utlizing excel's ability to
program, so that's why I ask the question here.

Do i need to explain more? Let me know since its late when I am
writing this and don't know if i missed something.

Thanks for your help.
