Default I would like a little help with a formula, please

X in your formula is text, not a number. You can't multiply text.

Jesse,

Try this:

=IF(B20="x",E20*G20*B20,"No X in B 20")

I think that will accomplish what you described.

I hope this helps,

Conan Kelly

I am using the following formula in cell I20, =IF(B20="x",E20*G20,"No
X in B 20") which works fine. I want to change it where in cell B20 I
can input any number, then the formual will do the E20*G20 and also
multiply by the number in B20. I would think that is pretty simple
for you Excel guru's but not for me :-).

Thanks!

Jess
