You won't be able to combine the Case Price and Units Per Case. Excel

will
treat this as text and your formulas won't work. If we have 5 columns

Column A - Item Description
Column B - Quantity
Column C - Case Price
Column D - Units Per Case
Column E - Inventory Value

A2 = Tomatoes
B2 = 4
C2 = 25
D2 = 5

In cell E2 type

=C2/D2*B2

then select cell E2, click on the black cross in the bottom right corner

of
the cell and drag your mouse down as far as you need to go. Be sure not

to
combine text with your numbers as Excel will treat the entire thing as

text
instead of numeric data. Of course, if Column D is 0, you will get a

divide
by 0 error in Column E. To clean this up you can change the formula to

=IF(D2=0,"",C2/D2*B2)
