Default Its a toughie, not sure if its possible.

Some questions... Is there only one First in the list? If there is a
Replacement, is it always the only item in the list and is it always the
last item in the list? If the answer to either of these is no, then please
provide a more comprehensive example showing the maximum possible
interactions. Also, I presume that the First, Add and Replacement
descriptions are in one column and the values are in another column?

...
I would like to know if its possible to create a sum total based
on categories selected in other cells.
For example, I have 3 categories: First, Additional & replacement. First
funnily enough is always the first number to be stated in the list, then
there can be any number of Additionals on top of that. Replacements
however
override everything that has gone before it and effectively reset the sum
to
what the Replacement is worth, Additionals can also be added on top of
these
Replacements. Can I get a sum to intelligently see what categories are
added
to a list as they are added and calculate the equivalent totals?

Eg

First 1
Add 1

Sum Shows 2

First 1
Add 1
Replacement 24

Sum shows 24


If anyone can understand what im trying to create and help me out that
would
be fantastic.

Many thanks in advance,

Rikki

P.S. Is this in the correct section?
