What I'd like to do is create a set of conditional statements. If the cell
a1="cat", then the number in a2*.25. If the cell a1="dog", then the number
in a2*.75. A1 will always say dog or cat. The then part of the statement
changes based on the text. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
Thanks.
