The IF statement is based on the square footage of the house. The large

is
where the drop down with the square footage option are located. The
actual
multipliers are on the "Look up tables" sheet. I'd be happy to make
this
simplier but without understanding Macros this is the best way that I
know.
I'd be apprecaitive of any help.

Where you put it does not matter, as it will always affect all other
entries,
when you make changes. The only way to overcome this kind of problem
is
to
still use formulae to calculate, but then to copy your results and
paste
special, eg into a quote template. Iow, you will have a calculation
sheet
and a quote sheet. You do your calculations in the calculation sheet,
and
then, using a macro, copy the results to the quote sheet, and paste
special
as values.

Your IF story is very complicated and I think unnecessary. You could
create
a lookup table that says what needs to happen for each condition, and
then
use VLOOKUP to do the calculations for you. May be way off beat here,
but
without any real info, that's what it looks like to me

The one workbook will have a price list the other will have all the
quote
sheets. At first I had a page with the mark ups and hourly rate in
the
first workbook that they were used on another page to mark up the
products.
But I realized that this wouldn't work because an changes in the
first
book
would make those changes to the other work books when they got
opened -
creating a huge can of worms so no I need to move the control sheet
to
the
quote work book. But this will mean changes all the formula a very
time
consuming and tedious process. Can I set up the formula in the
control
worksheet and have it as a cell reference effect the contents of
that
cell.
This is one of the formulas that I need to use:

=IF(Questionaire!$F$16=1,I1073,IF(Questionaire!$F$ 16=2,I1073*'Look
up
tables'!$D$9,IF(Questionaire!$F$16=3,I1073*'Look up
tables'!$D$10,IF(Questionaire!$F$16=4,I1073*'Look up
tables'!$D$11,IF(Questionaire!$F$16=5,I1073*'Look up
tables'!$D$12,IF(Questionaire!$F$16=6,I1073*'Look up
tables'!$D$13,IF(Questionaire!$F$16=7,I1073*'Look up
tables'!$D$14,IF(Questionaire!$F$16=8,I1073*'Look up
tables'!$D$15,""))))))
))

Any suggestions?
