| The formula is:
|
| =F22*VLOOKUP("Reg",$B$1:$D$16,3,FALSE)
|
| F22 is the total hours (result of a sum totalling all hours in the row)
| The table it is looking the information up from is
| Column 1 = Reg
| Column 2 = Hourly Cost
|
| There are 16 Reg Numbers and therefore 16 hourly costs. The Hourly Costs are
| formatted as currency.

| Hi,
| You probably don't need to email your sheet.
| Just show us a copy of the formula you're using, and some details of the
| data table you're trying to look up.

| Thank you in advance
