Try something like this:

With
A1 and A2 containing color names

A3: =SUM((A1&A2={"RedBlue","GreenOrange","PurpleYellow "})*{10,20,30})

Is that something you can work with?

Hello - I've searched, but cannot find what I'm looking for... I need to do
this:

In the cell A3 the formula should say

If A1 = "red" and if A2 = "blue" enter 10 in A3, or
If A1 = "green" and if A2 = "orange" enter 20 in A3, or
If A1 = "purple" and if A2 = "yellow" enter 30 in A3.

And, I will need to replicate this down a column of 5 rows.

THANKS!!
