I have to incorporate this in a IF statement or whatever is simple. Does
anybody have a simple solution for this?

Cell A1 can have 5 values A,B,C,D or E
Cell B2 can have 5 values V, W, X, Y or Z

Value of Cell C1 is dependent on A1 & B1

ie IF A1 = A & B1 = V, then C1 = 1
If A1 = A & B1 = W then C1 = 2
If A1 = A & B1 = X then C1 = 3 & so on.... THere are 26 combinations. What
is a easy way of writing this formula

This simple formula should do what you want...

=5*FIND(A1,"ABCDE")+FIND(B1,"VWXYZ")-5
